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 :)

It is easy now with defederation.

De-federation isn't the tool to solve this specific problem. That community has 34 posts, all by a single user, and under 30 total comments across all threads. I cannot find a single post or comment in that community that would violate any rules on lemmy.ml.

A single user posting content in a community that shares a name with a banned community on another social media platform seems like a very very low bar to push for de-federation.

This is like saying that it's no big deal if you only have a little cancer.

It's more like saying that we shouldn't jump to amputation as the first step after diagnosis.

Closer to ignoring a funny looking mole until it becomes a melanoma.
