I've been watching sh.itjust.works implode in hand-wringing what-ifs over the prospect of having to defederate alt-right instances to keep from having their hate speech plastered all over the internet. This is an appropriate time to remember the actual human life costs of letting people think their anti-human garbage is widely accepted.
I moved my secondary account off there (@[email protected], now, for transparency) because I did not feel an 8 day time gap between the community at large saying it was time to defederate from the Nazi instance to admins saying it was time to contemplate defederatonf from the Nazi instance was a short enough time frame. One of their moderator / admins seems to think that's a very fast turnaround but I just don't agree. If they needed to define a process first, that time was 8 days ago, when the community asked for the process to start
They're up to two weeks now. I mean it's taking three or more days just to debate removing it and hold an - almost unanimous - vote. They're sending a very clear message that they're much more worried about showing due process towards violent fascists than looking out for the people those violent fascists would target. This whole delay after delay appears to be for the benefit of about twelve if their users, so it must mainly be for the admins themselves
I also have pretty much abandoned my account there
