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 [email protected] 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?

    I totally agree, I just think as an overall community we could report/brigade the racism, rather than allow it to grow unchecked. Maybe I’m wrong.

      Deplatforming works. Don’t give any oxygen at all to fascists.

      Using a differences-in-differences approach, we show that on average the network disruptions reduced the consumption and production of hateful content, along with engagement within the network among periphery members. Members of the audience closest to the core members exhibit signs of backlash in the short term, but reduce their engagement within the network and with hateful content over time. The results suggest that strategies of targeted removals, such as leadership removal and network degradation efforts, can reduce the ability of hate organizations to successfully operate online.

        Defederating wouldn’t disrupt them, your source is about the removal of leadership/core memebers in online hate organisations. Something I imagine would happen rather quickly on this platform when those people get banned for racism.

        That being said I took a look at the community and there’s like 3 accounts posting pro-trump posts. Not exactly a community…they’re probably already isolating themselves on a different website.

          Defederating helps because it limits their reach to a wider community. They’re currently a small group because Lemmy and Kbin are new. If they’re left unchecked, they will grow.

          You are never going to eliminate groups like this, but deplatforming them prevents their ability to radicalize more people.
