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 !thedonald@sh.itjust.works 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 :)
They lose their shit at the thought of federating with Facebook, but when it comes to nazis they pump the brakes. Shows peoples true colors.
No tolerance for intolerance, lest tolerance be destroyed completely. No quarter for hate.
Difference between instances (Facebook) and communities (DT). Latter is easily blocked by users themselves, former might threaten the longevity of the fediverse.
Not saying I agree with that, but comparing the two is not fair.
You think becoming infested with hate speech isn’t going to threaten the fediverse? Sure, we can all individually block the hate, but a new, clueless user who joins for the first time is going to see that hateful rhetoric and everyone else ignoring it. That is DANGEROUSLY close to acceptance.
Facebook attempts to join- “We must stop this to prevent corporate power and growth.” Bigots join- “Let’s hear them out.”
…I mean… they might have something to say that we haven’t heard and been repulsed by a thousand times already!
