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 [email protected] 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 :)

    I just don’t get it.

    Block the c/TheDonald community. That’s it. That’s all you need to do.

    When it gets no visits, no views, and only it’s handful of users meme-ing each other, it’ll die. One of the big reasons TheDonald took off on Reddit was because of all the attention it got.

    So, don’t give them attention. Don’t feed the trolls.

    I’m not saying to tolerate neo-nazis. But running from them isn’t exactly a time proven strategy, either. They will exist, and it’s up to all of us to remind them that their views are garbage.

        I never knew that community existed since I don’t read All (too spammy) nor do I search for alt-right topics. No idea how OP found it unless they were simply looking for shit to stir up.

          I’m guessing it’s as you suggested, they looked for a reason to be offended.

          I don’t think I’ll ever see any content from it even though I don’t block it (not going to put in the effort to find it so in can block it). I have my subscriptions and largely stick to those.

          So eh, I don’t really care. However, if the cause problems in places I frequent, I’ll report and block them.

              AFAIK, the community is now gone. The user was deemed in violation of the instance’s rules and banned from the instance. It wasn’t banned because the community name matched a troublesome community on Reddit, it was because of actual rule breakage.

              And that’s how moderation should work imo, and that’s why I stick with that instance. I appreciate transparency and restraint. I like how the admin is giving up a lot of decision making to the community instead of deciding everything himself (see [email protected]). The only intolerance I’ve seen has been from users responding to posts like these, and those users end up either deleting their accounts or getting banned (not sure which, I’m still learning about lemmy moderation).

              In short, it isn’t a problem and it likely won’t be a problem. Don’t bail on a community because it takes a day or two to respond to an issue, bail because the admin isn’t resolving concerns at all. I’ve heard email signups are also live on sh.itjust.works, and I’m guessing 2FA will be an option soon as well (haven’t checked, I’ve been heads down working on lemmy-adjacent projects).

      Taking swift actions to oppose neo-nazis being able to spread their ideology is not running from them. Quite the opposite. Anyways it’s banned now so this is all moot.
