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?

    Of all the people that migrated from reddit to voat, quite a lot were from the banned subs like fatpeoplehate. That means the userbase is naturally more toxic.

    Of all the people that migrated to lemmy, there isn’t the same bias. I don’t think we need to worry that much.

      And even if there is… I think the main benefit of this architecture is that it’s easy to split off and regulate instances with problematic content. You choose your instance. And with that you choose your admins.

      While there is a bias from those splitting off from reddit to lemmy, it’s a bias towards tech inclined people rather than toxic people. So yeah, unlikely to be an issue.
