In the expulsion of russian maintainers thread there are multiple people who are insulting russians as a whole. Isn’t insulting people for their nationality against lemmy.world CoC? Is it allowed to insult egyptians or vietnamese people in a similar way?

    Top comment is from fedia.io, they are insulting both the country and Russians.

    Their instance policies state:

    “Hate speech and abusive or threatening behavior is not permitted, specifically that which directed at any gender, nationality, religion, race, age, pizza topping preference, or sexual identity. One can hate on systemd all day long here.”

      If you think it’s a violation, report it. If they do nothing with it…you’re out of luck.

      The rules for any instance boil down to, at their most basic level, “every moderation decision is up to the people who run their instance, and there is no appeal.”

      It seems like fedia.io is a difference instance. You can ask lemmy.world to defederate from them. You can also block the instance yourself. Go to your settings and at the bottom block the instance.
