Here at exploding heads we allow anyone to say and post pretty much anything.
Yeah, that's just code for "nazis welcome". They'll tell you that anybody is welcome, but you just have to ask yourself who would not be welcome anywhere to see who such communities are built for.
And then it's usually the most low-IQ people you've ever seen. So even if you are a person with controversial opinions and would like to discuss them, you can't even do that properly.
E.g. imagine that you like cryptocoins, but see some kind of problem with them that you would like to argue about... Everything you get is an angry Mob with nonsense responses.
Dang it's like Voat over there
Vote: Yes
Nazis aren't welcome here, best they learn that now rather than through a long process of being told by everyone else here to fuck off.
Telling Nazis to fuck off rarely leads to them actually fucking off, because they're Nazis.
If enough of the community makes it sufficiently clear that we're not going to let them peddle their Nazi bullshit unopposed, including by taking whatever moderator actions are possible to get rid of them, most of the Nazis will go somewhere else and we'll only have to deal with the typical number of Nazis for an internet platform rather than become inundated with them. Making them unwelcome by any means necessary is the name of the game.
then we will scrape them off our shoe as we always do with dog shit
After a while of thinking and reviewing, I have come to the conclusion to defederate as requested. If they correct course, I'll happily re-review them.
Thank you
Bigotry should be banned, and removed from this instance. That means not allowing bigotry on our instance. That means defederating from less clever wannabe 4chans, and less moderated The_D replacements.
They can enjoy their shithole federation.
Yes, defederate these chuds. Keep them isolated! Don't let them make this space into a Nazi bar.
I am trying to examen the instance, it would have been helpful to have some pointers to speed up the process although it somehow sounds like a familiar domain. It sounds like such content at least was against their rules. but that of course does not have to mean much.
Looking at the comments from their team is no good impression to say the least hmm
Update: found some more potential evidence that they are not welcoming nazis, but i think there are quite a few misinformation and "the usual" shitpost things on there that are not very ... enjoyable (and of course as the op implies, transphobic trash and such as to expect from a shitpost instance).
There is the Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads with some pointers.
casually scrolling through their local top posts tells me they pass the duck test on being toxic pieces of shit, so I say let them fester in it by themselves
It would be unfair for me to take place in the vote (Hi from Kbin.social).
Here's the current list of the instances (currently 92) that have defederated(block) EH.
Thanks to federation this post is visible on a wide variety of instances. Which specific instance are you petitioning to defederate from exploding heads? You're from discuss.tchncs.de so I assume that one?
Yes, defederate
Looks like this is really a right wing/fake/hate news instance. No love is lost defederating them.
So: Yes, please!
Lmao, their rules:
and yet almost every single comment I read is calling everyone pussies, toxic, and racist words.
Whats the point in having those rules when literally NO ONE is following or enforcing them? Damn.
