The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

i think you should assume good faith but i will say as a user it... does not really inspire confidence that this needs to be "reviewed" when it's like two people doing the unfunniest bit imaginable. this should be a pretty easy nuke, and it really shouldn't need the community weighing in. letting it stand will eventually let the cretins fester.
Not just nuking the donald community. But banning each and every subbed community member. Else they'll still be there, roaming the instance and spreading malicious ideas.
Yeah, that feels like crossing a line for me. I don't believe in guilt by association.
How do you know somebody didn't just subscribe to monitor them?
Nor does it take into account that people's views can change, and an outright ban simply for being part of the community only isolates them from the less batshit communities that may help them actually move away from it.
I recently read a letter by Dietrich Bonnhoefer, who was a German Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi dissident, who was imprisoned in 1943, hanged by Hitler's personal directive in April 1945.
His letter is titled "On Stupidity" and it explains A LOT.
