Just a little confused lol.
Ah, so I’ll delete all my requests from there. If I wanted nazi controlled boards I would have stayed on Reddit.
Man, people are really over using Nazi. At this point it’s basically become: ‘things I don’t like’.
Beehaw is, if anything, very left and was trying to get rid of trolls that they couldn’t ban because the troll would just make a new account in 5 seconds on one of our instances. I’m not at all a fan of de-federation, see our community discussions, but I understand the problem they were trying to avoid.
It seems like a pretty defensible position to not want random trolls posting pictures of their penis on random communities. They were unable to resolve the problem with the moderator tools that they had so they were forced to de-federate. Not exactly the Third Reich.
It’s unfortunate that a few shitty users ruin things for everyone. That being said with the influx of more users this will become a bigger problem over time. De-federation seems like the nuclear solution. Better moderation tools are going to be needed going forward as well as better communication between instances.
I just want to point out that…
Defending and siding with people attacking and sexually harassing innocent other people, by calling the people in power acting to protect those innocents, “nazis” for acting to protect said innocent people… is arguably closer to nazism than being liberal/woke and temporarily closing your doors to outsiders as a way to protect innocent people from sexual harassment and unwanted trolls.
