Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We’re really concerned about Threads and that’s a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?
I’m pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it’s been forced into a bunch of people’s feed.
If not that’s fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?
Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it’s 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.
I’ve blocked two users who spam pro-China propaganda non stop in that /c/. Ugh
It’s definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.
Currently your server just needs to defederate from exploding-heads.com and lemmygrad.ml to avoid nonsense. Basically all other servers moderate really well
I have a “Ruin their day in any possible way” policy when dealing with nazis online, in person I have a “punch them in the mouth and see what happens” policy.
Unsubscribing to dank memes would be a good start.
