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?
I’m gonna crosspost my comment from the original post:
I’m guessing your instance admins didn’t defederate from exploding-heads.com. You can either ask your admin to defederate, or move to an instance that has defederated them.
Defederating from that instance is an absolute must, if you want to take a small step from preventing Voatification. That instance took from where Wolfballs left off.
BTW every time I see you commenting on something it makes me think I joined the right instance. Well, I joined after checking that out but you are just making it so easy to be happy about it.
You can check which instances are federated and which are blocked by opening the instance in a browser and scrolling to the bottom and clicking “instances”.
Lemm.ee is federated with exploding-heads.com that’s why OP is seeing racist shit.
User also joined lemm.ee at the same time they crossposted these and neither them or the OP has replied, something is sketchy…
Does Lemmy have the ability to move an account to another instance? I know you can delete and recreate, but the former would be useful for occasions like this.
My lemmy-client-fu isn’t yet up to the task of linking it while on mobile… but I just saw a thread about two tools that will help you essentially clone your Lemmy account to another instance. Might help, even if not perfect?
Yeah my instance does that.
Report those posts so we can remove them.
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.
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.
