    Lemmy already is full of extremists and hate groups. Perhaps you mean you don’t want hate groups you don’t agree with?

      Even if this is somehow true (no clue who you federated with, man), we’re talking a community abt 80 times the size of the fediverse whose owner does not care and will not do anything other than dump its worst upon us.

      Even if they aren’t planning EEE, they might just be trying to rid of the fediverse by filling it with junk.

        There’s not much one can really do about that. You can block their instance or join one that does it for you but that still doesn’t stop them from joining the fediverse or seeing the content here. Being an open platform means that it’s also open for the actors you don’t like.

        With hate groups and extremists I was refering to the anti-right-wing, anti-capitalist, pro-socialism/communism, pro-anarchy, anti-AI, anti-facebook/twitter/google etc. sentiment that’s alive an well all over our frontpages here.

          anti-facebook/twitter/google

          Not extremists, just people who want their data to belong to them.

            It’s a quite diverse group of people of whom some are extremists.
