FINAL UPDATE
@bdonvr, admin of The Lemmy Club has, in my opinion, responded in good faith to the concerns raised in this post, and so I have withdrawn my proposal for defederation. In summary:
- They will no longer be allowing conservative/right wing communities on their instance
- A couple of accounts were banned ( marathon and Bernard )
- "realcaseyrollins decided to voluntarily close /c/news@thelemmy.club, /c/censorshipnews@thelemmy.club, and /c/opeds@thelemmy.club."
Personally, I think this is just about the ideal outcome, and I hope this will convince folks to give The Lemmy Club another chance.
The Lemmy Club is currently suffering from "The Nazi Bar" problem. All of their top communities are run by three right-wingers as illustrated below.
The Lemmy Club instance admin doesn't seem to want to ban them, for the reasons mentioned below:
This vote is on whether or not we should defederate from this instance until they address their Nazi Bar problem.
Upvote = for defederation. Downvote = against defederation.
Edit: As others have mentioned, happy to treat this a only a temporary measure until the problem is resolved.
Edit 2: The Lemmy Club admin has said they will implement a rule against right wing communities, and has taken action on some problematic posts and users (see original comments below).
I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to the admin here, as they have responded in good faith:
If you implement those changes then I’d be willing to withdraw the defederation proposal and consider the problem resolved.

These images are insane on my mobile Connect app. it's eight screen lengths of scrolling to get to the reply button just for this one comment.
yo need to contact the developer of you app and ask them to handle and resize lemmy emojis properly. They can be identified by their markdown code as they all have a special emoji string assigned like so
"emoji vouched"This is how they look on tesseract:
Alexandrite (zoomed out to 0.25%):
Ye, alexandrite also needs to fix this
The most significant flair of the counted people who voted. Also see this link from the sidebar
maybe the vote message needs that link and a CTA otherwise you'll forever be answering these questions =)
I'm confused on how to vote. The vote tally shows for/against, and then "outsider sentiment support", and I'm not sure what that is, and also who and how gets to vote.
Also, I'd like to vote and that's what I really care about.
Defederate that shit quick.
I'm not sure if it's possible, but ban/block those accounts as well. Too bad we can't do more about preventing those cancerous people from doing more damage.
Edit: I take back my unofficial vote to defederate. We should wait and see.
Also, lots of love out to our Admins here for (1) noticing this, (2) attempting to rectify and and (3) being reasonable (i.e. not using a sledgehammer) when it seems that appropriate steps have been taken at this time.
However, having seen this right-wing cancer destroy other social media platforms, I want to stress that we should be as proactive and ban-happy as we feel appropriate, because this shit is not going away.
You vote by simply up/down voting as usual. Check the sidebar of this comm.
Thank you! I appreciate you and everything that you do!
