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?

I agree that it depends. However such nuance was not included in the original statement. It was absolute

Oh, no, it is absolute: if you say and do nothing, then at best, you're allowing the harm they cause to happen, and at worse reinforcing their behavior.

So yes, if you have racist friends and you sit silently then yes, you're a racist supporter.
