Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat? (lemm.ee)

Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We're really concerned about Threads and that's a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?

I'm pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it's been forced into a bunch of people's feed.

If not that's fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?

Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it's 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.

I've blocked two users who spam pro-China propaganda non stop in that /c/. Ugh

[–] Ohthereyouare@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.

All comments in this chain being downvoted. hmm

I saw that yesterday I assume Lemmygrad will be blocked soon the last thing we need is nazis and tankies using the fediverse as their personal propaganda soapbox.

[–] Ohthereyouare@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Lol, oh good, they've seen this. I forgot to mention, they also brigade. 5 downvotes in 5 minutes.

[–] TooL@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 year ago

Yep. I'd be perfectly fine with defederating from lemmy.ml. It's just as bad as lemmygrad. Tankies are fucking annoying and they all brigade like crazy.
