Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from https://exploding-heads.com/ [https://exploding-heads.com/]. We understand that defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to vulnerable communities. After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts, and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot, in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes hate, racism, and bullying. Examples: https://lemmy.world/post/577526 [https://lemmy.world/post/577526] - Community Moderator Harassment https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194] - Systemadmin Post https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780] - Systemadmin Post https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488] - Systemadmin Post https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725] - Community Moderator Post Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a case-by-case bases. As for our community, please refrain from posting or commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments violating our server rules. Lemmy Code of Conduct https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html [https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html] Citizen Code of Conduct https://github.com/stumpsyn/policies/blob/master/citizen_code_of_conduct.md [https://github.com/stumpsyn/policies/blob/master/citizen_code_of_conduct.md] “We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.”

Of the examples they gave I really think only Fisuxcel’s removed removed comment was ban worthy. And even then he’s not even a admin here and lemmy world could have just deleted his community.

Maybe Wiggle hards sodom and gomorrah reference post (of which I lold) But I mean that is a mainstream religious view whether they like it or not.

I suggest in the future admin’s keep their edgy content on alt accounts and in communities that pussy instances can just block.

In this way federation may work a little better.

On the one hand, fuck lemmy world. On the other hand, instances defederating hurts everyone so I do think it is our responsibility to work with them a little bit if they can be reasonable about it.

I take full responsibility for my Biden Pedo post which was featured. Biden is a Pedo but it was animated and perhaps I could have tagged it nsfw.

    This can also be a rallying point. lemmy world has a lot of users. They just pinned a post about exploding heads and linked to it multiple times. I imagine your user count will now grow as a result. Other’s are right that many of the current reddit exodus are extremist left wing ideologs. exploding-heads is in a good spot to catch growth from other demographics.
