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?

    Just blocking the community doesn’t prevent the users in that community from harassing minorities and generally spreading disinformation and hate. It’s offloading extra moderation work to every instance who federates with them. Unless that instance is also okay with fascists interacting in bad faith, of course.

      It could be extra moderation work, but I think it’s a bad line to cross to assume everyone on an instance is guilty before they’ve actually done something bad.

      Bad comments can come from anywhere though and mods still have to remove them.

        No one is saying everyone in the instance is guilty; people are saying that the instance is going to become toxic to the point where it becomes hard to tell.

        If you are in that instance and don’t want to tied to this rhetoric, talk to your admin about banning the Donald.

          Defederation is basically treating them like so. I mean, I get it, moderation is hard AF, but pre-emptive defederation when we haven’t even seen a ton of toxicity from sh.itjust.works yet is not a good precedent.

      You’ve got a good point. Ultimately every instance is responsible for its users and their behavior. Harassment should not be tolerated.

      SIJW needs to make a decision. IMHO it’s perfectly fine to say that your instance is not prepared to deal with that kind of shit regardless of how open and accommodating you want to be.

      If they believe there’s a space for “moderate trump supporters” that’s their decision but they are on the hook for any harassment caused by their users.

      Yes! Hold the instance owners accountable for allowing that shit to fester and be rebroadcast.

        This doesn’t make any sense.

        One of my long time friends is a genuine racist. Am I a racist then too because I’m friends with him even though our views on this topic (and many others) differ quite dramatically?

            I agree that it depends. However such nuance was not included in the original statement. It was absolute

              Oh, no, it is absolute: if you say and do nothing, then at best, you’re allowing the harm they cause to happen, and at worse reinforcing their behavior.

              So yes, if you have racist friends and you sit silently then yes, you’re a racist supporter.
