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 :)

If the instance won't kill the sub, the members of the sub will take over that instance.

I'm seeing some people testing the waters of some subs to see what they can get away with.

so because the donald was on reddit, the entire reddit community was taken over?

At the height of it, yes. It filled up the front page every single day and made the site absolutely reek.

It's what made me stop browsing /r/all, drop off most default subs, and stick to only my subscribed subs. Brigading and spamming is the whole point.

That must have sucked, did you just not think about blocking the sub at the time? Oh you are saying they were posting donald stuff in default subs too?
