Lemm.ee Conservative Community has had an Elon Nazi salute post up for two days now.

IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don’t really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.

    The problem with this idea is that lemm.ee does not have strong moderation and content rules, and that is the exact sort of environment that extremism worms its way into and takes advantage of. I don’t expect the admin team to have the time to police the community with a fine enough comb to catch all of the bad content, and I don’t trust the moderators of any self-titled conservative community to do that job properly.

    These communities are ultimately more trouble than they’re worth, and as such I would prefer to see them shunted away from the major servers. Let them build their own hexbear, lemmygrad, or ml. But I don’t think that their regressivism and bigotry have any place here.

      If you happened to see my previous reply, ignore it, I deleted it… I came back to this post after a long day at work and typed a bunch of shit that made no sense.
