I’m seeing loads of highly offensive stuff coming from there. Racism, genocide denial. Stuff like that. Thanks.

    Tankies suck, and Conservatives suck imho. They may share shitty views, which is complete nonsense, but I’m finding it a wee bit weird that a Conservative, who I’d assume is all for freedom of speech is trying to shut down speech. I’ve been here for days now, and I’ve not seen anything from Lemmygrad. I know it’s there, and I don’t want to dip my toe in and it’s not being thrown down my throat. It’s pretty obvious what it is from the name. If I want some weird alt right nonsense, I’d check out truth social or telegram. You know what you’re getting.

    “Let’s get away from the reddit top down control, and implement top down control here”. Hmmm…

    Didn’t you just question the decision to defederate from exploding-heads a week ago when the users there were posting racism, hatefulness, bigoted speech, etc?

    If you didn’t like that defederation, why do you want another defederation? Sounds hypocritical.

    defederation is the last/final step. just block those users yourself - or create an account on beehaw and stop using this instance.

      I think they are 10 steps past last. High highly offensive rascist stuff. Saying the Uyghur genocide isn’t happening while concentration camps are holding millions of Uyghur’s.

      Yeah I keep seeing a bunch of content saying all white people are evil and stuff, then I see people saying the Uyghur genocide isn’t happening and that the chinese government isn’t kill Uyghurs for their organs. Also that the communist in Russia didn’t kill millions. Stuff like that.

    Agree, I’m seeing horrible racist bigoted stuff coming from there. I don’t care what your political ideology is hate is hate and lemmygrad IS a hate instance.

      Also FYI, be careful posting on Lemmy.ml communities - the people who run it are tankies and will brook no criticism of China or Russia, whether in the context of the war in Ukraine or not.

    Federation is a double-edged sword. Right now, anyone can spin up a Lemmy instance and federate with most other instances by default. Moderation is very important, especially in a federated environment. Otherwise Nazis and tankies will troll and spam and destroy the community we are trying to build. Conservatism is ok, but extremism is not.
