See longer post (not by me) there, if all is true then they should fall under both the spam and mass lemm.ee rule breaking defederation rules, both bigotry and abusive language, though not always in combination.

Also the covenant thing Mastodon has would probably be a good idea.

    I wish us users had the ability to block entire instances. I don’t buy the argument that people are “too sensitive,” nor do I buy the argument that defederation from instances that platform things like Nazis (exploding-heads, shi.itjust.works) and/or bestiality/pedophilia (burggit) is a bad thing. If we want a platform for all, then there are certain worldviews that are just not compatible with that.

    Do we really want another reddit? Reddit sucked. Bad.

      This has come up several times and is something I am interested in as well. It’s a feature that I would be interested in tackling at some point.

        They initially allowed the_donald, and they only removed the community after receiving significant backlash from other instances

        I think they may also not heavily vet registrations, but perhaps you could correct me if I’m wrong about this

            They platformed the community, so it is not lying to say they supported Nazis since that is literally what they did

              i mean if it was one guy saying ‘nazis’ literally is lying

              which is besides the point, because saying they platformed nazis because the single-user, non-issue community that no one even noticed except for the person that made a post calling attention to it, on an instance that allows anyone to create a community, was deleted after a day is so ridiculously misrepresentative of reality that its practically a lie anyway
