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

    Here is the answer.

    Autoblock spam and illegal content Make a “not cool” communities list and allow users to check a button upon signing up to block instantly.

    Problem solved.

      and illegal content

      I am massively against defederation when at all possible- However, I will draw the line at illegal content.

      The reason being- when content is federated, a copy of it is stored on all subscribed instances.

      I REALLY don’t want the feds knocking on my door. So- I will take a strict stance there, for protecting my own well-being. My server isn’t hosted in a country where anything goes.

      If- it is content which is against the rules of the instance where it was posted- by all means, I will give the admins a chance to handle the issue. Otherwise- nuclear option.

        You are right to be concerned here. Since it touts self hosting, storage should’ve been decentralized and encryption designed in a way to legally protect hosters. Alas, we have what we have, which will require a lot of moderation until it matures more. Fingers crossed. Being responsible is the best we can do right now.

      There shouldn’t be one “not cool” list on signup, that’s just /r/popular then. Every user should be able to make their own list. And every other user should be able to subscribe to any other user’s list if they don’t want to manage it themselves. But it shouldn’t bet set up and defaulted by the admins. If you aren’t able to at least do the bare minimum to curate your experience then just go back to facebook or reddit with their recommendation engines.

        I will elaborate. Every user can and should make a list of instances they personally don’t like, but admins/mods are also users. They’re just telling you that we don’t like these instances, but it’s your choice on whether you want to block them or not. Maybe they shouldn’t show it to you upon signup, I sort of agree there but a new user showing up and needing to start by cleaning up the place to their liking is a bit of friction for them. Will make a stronger selling point for another server that just defederates by default.
