I’m a bit out of loop, are there more info to share about?
There's a lemmy server where a lot of alt-right and more extreme views have sub-lemmys. It got defederated by Lemmy.World and others and now they're upset that most people on other servers don't get to see their hate-speech.
Oh I love more and more lemmy! Its just incredible they can create their own server full of stupid ideas and we stay away from that drama
W
What server?
Maybe better not say it, so we don’t give them attention
It's called exploding heads. You can find it through google, but I don't want to link to it.
I know people are downvoting because we don't want to give Nazis publicity, and I agree, but honestly it is good to let people know.
On face value the name can be riot porn like and the tagline about holding elites responsible sounds great. I would have joined if not by a stroke of luck. I came here and afterward heard they were Nazis so I'm glad I missed them but not everyone is so lucky. People should know to be able to avoid Nazis.
Except that your downvotes are public and then you'll just be accused of being a Nazi.
This one. (Not a link to the defederated site, rather a link to one of the concern trolls whining about the defederation)

They’re called “communities”, not “sublemmys”. Lol.
"sublemmys" is a great silly name, though
Hey man I was barely awake.
All I've seen so far was that there was a (inactive) The_Donald community on one of the bigger instances, which sparked a bit of drama...
I'm sorta embarrassed that it's on my instance. As you point out it's inactive. Also our community has been very much active in discussing removing them and what to do about them. We are definitely not complicit in it.
Nah, there was another thing. Link here
Definitely a good move to defederate that cesspit
Yeah, I'm generally against quickly defederation... But there definitely nothing of value was lost.
All the random posts from that instance that somehow ended up in my "All" board were right-wing and transphobic garbage. And I mean like really low-quality "news" articles, like the shit your racist aunt shares on facebook.
Not to mention, every single user of theirs I saw comments from were just absolute jerks, not adding anything of value to discussions, and just making instances that were still federated with their nazi bar worse places to be. "But you can block them yourself" no. I don't have time to block 6,682 users. No one does. Saying the solution to dealing with poorly moderated instances is for individuals to individually block other users is the same as saying "let's respond to this rise in nazism in our forums by doing nothing at all"
Here's the link
Man, watching Nazis piss themselves over not getting the red carpet rolled out for them sure has been popcorn-worthy.
