Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads - Lemmy.world
lemmy.world
We’re closing this thread. Everything that could be said has been said. Thank you ---------- Original Post: Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from https://exploding-heads.com/ [https://exploding-heads.com/]. We understand that defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to vulnerable communities. After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts, and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot, in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes hate, racism, and bullying. Examples: https://lemmy.world/post/577526 [https://lemmy.world/post/577526] - Community Moderator Harassment https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194] - Systemadmin Post https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780] - Systemadmin Post https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488] - Systemadmin Post https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725 [https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725] - Community Moderator Post Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a case-by-case bases. As for our community, please refrain from posting or commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments violating our server rules. Lemmy Code of Conduct https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html [https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html] Citizen Code of Conduct https://github.com/stumpsyn/policies/blob/master/citizen_code_of_conduct.md [https://github.com/stumpsyn/policies/blob/master/citizen_code_of_conduct.md] “We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.”

Of the examples they gave I really think only Fisuxcel’s tranny faggot comment was ban worthy. And even then he’s not even a admin here and lemmy world could have just deleted his community.

Maybe Wiggle hards sodom and gomorrah reference post (of which I lold) But I mean that is a mainstream religious view whether they like it or not.

I suggest in the future admin’s keep their edgy content on alt accounts and in communities that pussy instances can just block.

In this way federation may work a little better.

On the one hand, fuck lemmy world. On the other hand, instances defederating hurts everyone so I do think it is our responsibility to work with them a little bit if they can be reasonable about it.

I take full responsibility for my Biden Pedo post which was featured. Biden is a Pedo but it was animated and perhaps I could have tagged it nsfw.

    IMO it was inevitable and while ostensibly it was about language/slurs/etc, I think that was just a convenient excuse. I remember years ago before reddit, before twitter, before the political correctness campaign… How people could exist on forums and throw out actual slurs and really racist comments as a joke and people wouldn’t get all butthurt and bent out of shape over it.

    Fast forward to present day, and we all know that here’s a lot of folks out there who just can’t stand the idea that people don’t buy into liberal ideals / mainstream media / etc. And they’ve proven time and again on other platforms that you don’t have to be far right or even right at all, you don’t even have to say anything politically incorrect before they start the labeling and calling for bans.

    I’m sure most of us here have had run-ins with people who call us bigots, nazis, *phobs, etc merely for having a different opinion. I’ve had discussions on Reddit before where I can’t even have the opinion that a sub not doing rainbows in their banner during pride month doesn’t automatically equate to “we hate lgbt”.

    The way lemmy is built, users are perfectly capable of blocking specific insurance / subs / users they can’t agree with on the user level. But that’s not good enough for the far left and they feel the need to take away their users choices and block entire instances at the site level and pressure/threaten other instances to do the same or likewise risk being blocked (not really sure which of these camps lemmy world falls into). But talk about overly sensitive people.

    On the one hand, fuck lemmy world

    Agreed. Whether they’re caving to peer pressure from leftist instances or on a high horse themselves, if they are going to behave that way then they’re no better than beecuck.

    For my part, after I saw the post about them blocking us late last night, I decided to share some of my collection of based memes over on /c/dankmemes

      No it’s actually how most non-americans look at you right-wing nuts in the States. And then you still think it can’t be about you guys being racist, homophobic and calling people slurs. “No it must be political oppression, damn leftists”.

      Your brain so smooth you can’t get hurt, everything just slides off.
