MODERATORS
Just let them have their of naziverse. I don't want to see it.
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

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.
exploding-heads.com
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.
they are?
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.
What's the URI of the defederated server? I want to know in order to stay away from it. Really.
I did a quick check of the frontpage of the server and didn't find anything that extreme. Can you show me some nazi related posts?
No. Why would I want to?
You're right. Just call everybody the names you want regardless if they are accurate or not. If it's fashionable enough it will stick everytime, so who cares right?
What are you referring to?
Everybody in this post is calling the server nazis.
I went there and at least in the frontpage there were only edgy right wing memes and some normal posts. But no white supremacy stuff or something related to that.
So I asked if someone could show me the posts that made them call the server nazis. And instead of a reply, I only got downvotes. Because god forbid you ask people why they consider others nazis.
That's reasonable, but why did that cause you to instruct me to call me random names? I don't see the context for that, nor the rationale. Anyway, what's the URI of the server?
Within the context of the thread, it seemed to me that you were dismissing me implying that you don't need proof of anything to call them nazis. Now I understand better that that wasn't the intention and I'm sorry for it.
As for the uri, it's https://exploding-heads.com/
Thanks.
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.
and it closed down in 5 minutes
overreaction
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"
I know of the other things, I just found it funny that that was the one you mentioned
If anyone is overreacting it's beehaw (change my mind)
Here's the link
Man, watching Nazis piss themselves over not getting the red carpet rolled out for them sure has been popcorn-worthy.
