It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.
In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now
with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the
instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into
our timelines. The instance-admin of !thedonald@sh.itjust.works
[/c/thedonald@sh.itjust.works] did not reply to my message. Big instances seem
not to defederate with them. The new TD may not be a success, the point is not
to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists. Where
are the instances that show face against racism? edit: to contact the admins:
@donut@sh.itjust.works @TheDude@sh.itjust.works @smorks@sh.itjust.works
but this seems like something a federated system could handle without banning an instance. Am I confused about how this works?
No- it can be easily handled multiple other ways too.
If users don’t subscribe to the community, the community doesn’t federate elsewhere.
Users can individually block the community and/or user responsible.
Admins, at an instance level, can block the community and/or user.
At THIS instance level (sh.itjust.works)
4. The community can be removed/blocked. This removes it globally.
Defederation is the complete nuke-from-orbit option, which should only be reserved when you have an instance that is unwilling to work with you to resolve issues.
Aka- you have an instance, owned by spammers, producing spam bots causing negative user experience.
I joined this instance because of the renewable energy commitment.
I keep hearing this. Maybe. I should update my instance and let everyone know my server runs on pure sunlight too. lol
