It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.
In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines.
The instance-admin of [email protected] did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them.
The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists.
Where are the instances that show face against racism?

The problem isn’t just that community, it’s the people who follow. They’re not the kind of people we should try to attract here.
They’re probably the same people who were active in fatpeoplehate and other malicious subs too, and it’s better not to wait for that to happen. If it doesn’t get handled now, their toxicity will likely spill over into other communities
FWIW, I certainly don’t support that shit even though I made that instance my “home”, not knowing that one guy’s cesspool even existed there.
I chose that one because it’s near me, hosted in a local datacenter, uses hydro power and has good performance.
I will be glad to let my voice be heard when we discuss and vote about this troll’s fate in the Agora over there (which feels very much like the polar opposite of that troll’s bullshit).
As far as I can tell it has no support from the instance’s members.
I think our admin was busy upgrading to 0.18 while this was posted, hopefully this gets addressed soon and I’m prepared to move on from there if it isn’t.
Having interacted with decent people there, I hope we’ll sort this out.
