Dear Admins of the Lemmy.world instance I am asking that you please consider defederating from the rammy.site instance as soon as possible as the admin is no where to be found and it has been taken over by right wing posters posting hateful messages. There are also other people posting large amounts of spam and creating empty communities. What was once a small hobby run general purpose instance has been turned over and made into a festering right wing hate filled breeding ground by the people from exploding-heads. The only recoarse left it seems is to defederate to prevent them from spreading hate to other instances.

PS. I already sent this message to multiple admins here, sorry about that I just felt it was urgent to make sure the message was sent before these people cause more damage.

They defederated hexbear preemptively. Why not this one ? This needs to happen.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

They said it was because hexbear was pushing an ideology and therefore had nothing of value to add to the conversation

I am a proud member of lemmy.ca (and lemmy.world) and let me tell you I have no idea what rammy.site is not the other one that was defederared from.

What I will tell you, as a left leaning person, is nothing of value is gained from crying wolf every time a person or people disagree with your beliefs even, and let me be perfectly clear even if your beliefs are the better ones.

Op. Step away from the keyboard and from Lemmy and get some fresh air.

As much as I would probably disagree with their messages and posts, would they not do the same to us if the positions were to be switched?

I personally take a stance closer to "all deserve a connected platform and if you don't like it, block them" as even if I might disagree with them, they still deserve a platform.

Well, I dont think lemmy.world should be linked with instances that have totally different rules. Maybe small difference in rules is fine, but this extreme stuff will make entire lemmy.world less appealing

I understand. But IMO this is a huge problem with federated server models: you're making that choice for everyone on the server.

Now keep in mind I don't know what they're posting on rammy lemmy instance. If they're doing some KKK shit over there I probably agree with you. But I'd say if it's just right wing Trumpies I'd say it's wrong to do that over political spectrum.

unless they're breaking standard Internet boilerplate rules I don't think it's a good idea. Free speech is a good thing but it always comes with idiots. It's a package deal. Let that reside at a user level. Remember there are extremists on the left just like there is the right.

Edit: One might consider too whether some of these are political propaganda accounts. This should be looked into especially now that AI is so widely available especially.

So basically, they've done something to offend you, and you want to defederate from them because you don't agree with whatever they're doing or saying.

So much for freedom and no censorship. Go back to reddit if that's what you want.

We're not talking about ice cream flavours, but disagreeing over basic climate science and who deserves to live.

It fucking matters who gets a voice.
