r/The_Donald now on Lemmy - Lemmy Online
lemmyonline.com
It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies. In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines. The instance-admin of !thedonald@sh.itjust.works [/c/thedonald@sh.itjust.works] did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them. The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists. Where are the instances that show face against racism? edit: to contact the admins: @donut@sh.itjust.works @TheDude@sh.itjust.works @smorks@sh.itjust.works

    First, I’m fully against defederating any instance that isn’t showing an instance wide bad actor status.

    But let’s be real, this isn’t about a political belief.

    It’s about the banner of “the donald” having been used for disruptive purposes multiple times. The c/ needs to be removed because it’s a “fuck you” meant to stir shit.

    However, any instance that wants it, I’ll be glad to create an account, create the same community, but dedicate it to a different Donald. If there’s already a c/ in existence with the name, it’s harder for the idea behind the subreddit to creep in. We take the name back

      How isn’t it political? TD was a rare manifest of a different idea having prominence and being subsequently attacked because “how dare it exist” at which point it went full “attack back” ans it became a ridiculous battle until the admins of Reddit decided they would go back to controlling narratives because the ad money wasn’t that good.

      Same as trump being banned for twitter. It IS political. There’s one political party in the US that is treated as “literally evil” and we are supposed to get on board and fight amongst each other instead of pointing how corrupt and entrenches the parties are and.how auperficial de battle. Is.

      But hey, if we pretend the whole world things in US terms and that anyone who doesn’t subscribe to identity politics and bullying with self perceived moral superiority then of course TD and similar “wrongthink” has to be banned.
