r/The_Donald now on Lemmy - Lemmy Online
lemmyonline.com
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 [email protected] [/c/[email protected]] 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: @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

    It does feel that many people here on lemmy are experiencing 1st hand of “feeding the troll”. The Donald community created is probably done by less than a handful of people and it drove hundred times more amount of users to turn against each other.

    This is why I frown upon the idea of defederation and I blame the users for opening that pandora’s box. People, including mods, are too busy getting at each other throats and praising the value of their bubble communities rather than having any sort of planning.

      The sad part- I believe it was only a single account which sparked this conflict causing everyone to be at each other’s throats.

        They’re constantly changing their display name too. Whether it’s to be more elusive or to make their numbers look greater.

          Suppose the best solution for this problem- is a better system for handling banned/toxic users…

          Would need to be prob a third party script, distributed amongst multiple instances. But- that would also require a certain level of trust between admins too.

          If memory serves me- back in my minecraft days- we used mcbans, pretty effectively for this purpose.

          For websites / forums, I used cleartalk, which actually worked pretty effectively… but, for spammers.

          I’ll have to take a look and see the level of effort to integrate that into here.
