The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

      One community on an instance, the users of that instance (who partake of The_Donald, for instance) are users of all federated instances. Thus if federated they would have fun by turning every other available community into an unpleasant experience.

      As a reddit example, after posting on archery and motorcycle related subs I received threatening and sexual messages. Beehaw is the first place I’ve seen that actively wants to avoid that from day one, and I really hope it succeeds. Being cautious over defederation has been a big plus point for me.

      No, it’s just saying “I won’t come into your room.” They can still go anywhere they want.

      I think the proper analogy here would be by you blocking the community, you turn around and ignore the nazi, while everyone else still allows the nazi. So you might frown upon the nazi, but everyone else still accepts them, so then there are still 9 people who are fine with the nazi.

      You’re still sitting on that table, just with some separators between you and the others. People obviously don’t want to support extremistic bigots.
