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 :)

Definitely better to just block the community in other instances instead of total defederation. Admins can do so pretty easily. I know beehaw is usually pretty proactive about this kind of stuff.

And yeah...fuck Donald Trump. He's fucked up the US so hard and has put our country into such a mess. I hope they nail his ass straight to jail.

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.

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

Nine people dining at a table with a Nazi means you have ten Nazis.

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?

Depends. Do you just keep your silence or do you call them out when they're being shitty?

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] cstine@lemmy.uncomfortable.business 9 points 1 year ago

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.
