    I DON’T want the fediverse to grow if that growth is full of extremists, hate groups, porn bots, etc.

      But the fediverse already has that lol. I’ve had arguments here with extremists many times.

      You won’t just magically cure it by stopping FB from federating. Putting your fingers in your ears and closing your eyes doesn’t make it go away.

        But we’re talking our current problem but instead expanded into a community 80 times the size of the fediverse. That’s a little more hate than we’ve got now, no?

      Lemmy already is full of extremists and hate groups. Perhaps you mean you don’t want hate groups you don’t agree with?

        Even if this is somehow true (no clue who you federated with, man), we’re talking a community abt 80 times the size of the fediverse whose owner does not care and will not do anything other than dump its worst upon us.

        Even if they aren’t planning EEE, they might just be trying to rid of the fediverse by filling it with junk.

          There’s not much one can really do about that. You can block their instance or join one that does it for you but that still doesn’t stop them from joining the fediverse or seeing the content here. Being an open platform means that it’s also open for the actors you don’t like.

          With hate groups and extremists I was refering to the anti-right-wing, anti-capitalist, pro-socialism/communism, pro-anarchy, anti-AI, anti-facebook/twitter/google etc. sentiment that’s alive an well all over our frontpages here.

            anti-facebook/twitter/google

            Not extremists, just people who want their data to belong to them.
