Safe spaces for fascism. Spez let The_Donald and its imitators fester for years, thus turning Reddit into a de facto Nazi Bar. Thus years of harassing non-fascists & minorities, brigading, spouting bigotry, disinformation and toxicity while the admins yawned.

Unfortunately fascist spaces will exist and cannot be prevented because of the core nature of Lemmy/fediverse architecture. Anyone can start their own instance and post whatever they want.

However, if the main popular instances defederate with them, then most users won't have to see those posts.

Yep. Defederation's the best weapon here. Keep the fascists ostracized!

AFAIK the following have been defederated or blocked otherwise: -theDonald -exploding heads -meta (on going)

Umm, you're aware that anyone can stand up a Lemmy instance? Communists and fascists alike, you can just defederate from any instance you don't like.
