r/The_Donald now on Lemmy (edit: not anymore)
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 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 @TheDude @smorks
edit2: @TheDude deleted the community :)

Defederation may be the only solution to the problem without changing the source code to allow for better administration tools.
Do note, posts from that community, will ONLY federate to your instance, if somebody is actively subscribed to it.
If nobody is subscribed to that community, then posts from that community WILL NOT flow to your instance.
So if I want to spread my shit, I just need to create an account on that instance and subscribe to the community? Seems feasible and if they ban that account I (or someone else from the shit community) can create a new account and just keep going.
That the (unfortunate) workaround.
I mean, you would also need to make sure the posts you were trying to spread, were not -5000 in votes too. (Otherwise, I don't think the algorithm is going to pick them up...)
Interesting.
