I’ve been spending time on the instance and notice it is contains some extreme right wing American fascist propaganda, what is the communities’ thoughts on this?

I thought it was general purpose and like sessionjams but the weird NonCredibleDefense (whatever the fuck that is), racist “white people” twitter and “meanwhileongrad” appears to be a drama community is sus as hell. What do?

Edit: I haven’t made a decision and will not unilaterally make one. I am assuming discussion in good faith. If you are not vegan do not add your comments or vote.

Literally no one here is supporting Russia, the Russian government or the invasion of Ukraine. This is fully out of scope for this instance and discussion. Russia is a right wing fascist state that is the moral equivalent of the United States and China. I was assuming discussion in good faith but lemmy users can’t help but to target each other and drive harassment campaigns through their harassment communities like tankiejerk, meanwhileongrad, fediverselore and similar. Look, I don’t agree with a lot of the content they highlight, but I am not interested in silencing them or drawing attention to manipulate their votes or communities and want the same for vegans which are routinely silenced. These communities only serve to silence opposing viewpoints. Please note that this vegan instance doesn’t host any “vegan circlejerk” style content or allow pictures of carnists to drive teasing or harassment of them either.

We are anti-war here and I stand with the working people of the world no matter what country they are in. Both the people of Russia and the people of Ukraine are victims of their governments who are using them as pawns to enrich themselves. War is a profit generation scheme by capitalists to punish working people and extract profit through their lives. Supporting military defense contractors and governments is part of this consent manufacturing that sh.itjust.works allows. Do I think the admins of sh.itjust.works are bad people? No, but I do believe they are allowing American consent manufacturers to run rampant on their instance and I wanted some feedback.

I’m going to close this thread now and believe it or not I am not in favor of defederation after this conversation. I am disheartened and deeply saddend on how it went though. Due to interference I do not believe that I can meaningfully gauge this community.
