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?

    We’ll, they could always be isolated from the main fediverse network. Ultimately it will be good moderation on your instance that is the deciding factor. If another instance won’t moderate or has a content policy that allows it to collect offensive material, then your instance will have to defederate.

    I’m sure there will be a few distasteful Lemmy instances out there that have been defederated from all mainstream instances, but I guess that’s OK, because they can do what they want in their own space.

    That’s one thing I really like about Lemmy. You can’t forcibly silence people* you can only disconnect/isolate them. (*unless you own their instance).

    So we should focus on maintaining the health of the main fediverse network (the interoperability between mainstream instances that are responsibly moderated).
