It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.

In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines.

The instance-admin of [email protected] did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them.

The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists.

Where are the instances that show face against racism?

edit: to contact the admins: @donut @TheDude @smorks

edit2: @TheDude deleted the community :)

So this is a quick way to ruin the fediverse: Create a The_Donald community on the big instances.

There's one on lemmy.world I believe, but it's not what you're expecting.

I was kinda hoping it would just be dedicated solely to Donald Duck but I guess this is also fine, haha

I was expecting a community about Donald Duck, but it is even better.

You made me click on it and... wow, although I wasn't expecting that, I was somehow fully expecting exactly that

I'm subscribed to that one, but I feel kind of self-conscious about it being visible on my list of communities since there's the obvious connotation.

No, why would it? The instance could simply enforce its moderation guidelines and block the community.

It would ruin the Fediverse because, if this post is any indication, it takes nothing but a user shouting 'Nazi!' to get people ready to accept de-federation. Most users who are commenting appear to not have looked into the issue or viewed the community before giving their opinion. They're more than willing to buy the 'Nazi bad, de-federate' argument with zero evidence.

If you look into the community that the OP is referring to... it is made up of a single user's posts and less than 30 comments across the entire community (most by the same user). None of the posts or comments in that community/by that user violates any rules on sh.itjust.works or kbin.

There is no there there, as they say. This is a 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' tale. There's no wolf, there's no Nazi bar. One user created, one community and now we have a 200+ comment thread discussing de-federation. I cannot find any other word to describe the situation other than: kneejerk.
