Comment on please defederate from exploding-heads.com and rammy.site

I decided to see for myself so I could voice an informed opinion. One of the first posts I saw on their (EH) Local channel, titled Based Pride Month, is an image of a headline reading, Saudi Arabia Celebrate Pride Month by Hanging Gays with Rainbow Noose. This is hateful content. My ability to discern such has nothing to do with savvy. I don’t want to see these opinions because they are grotesque.

However, I haven’t seen ExHeads leaking out into the greater Lemmiverse. That said, I want nothing to do with anyone who considers this ok. Even if they are currently fairly contained, they have made it clear who they are and I choose not to surround myself with bigots.

I vote to defederate. We don’t need to wait for them to become a huge pain in the ass. They are showing us who they are.

So, why don’t you block it yourself? Why are you making that decision for others?

  How do you block an instance?

    I just block whole communities. I’ve blocked most of the shitpost communities and now my feed is clean. Plus, I just stich to “subscribed” feed most of the time. It’s really easy to not see things you don’t like.

  What do you think a federation is? If you don’t like the decisions of an instance you go to another one. If this instance defederates from rammy.site I’m staying, if not I’m leaving. You’re free to leave if they defederate too, and if you felt the need to leave because of it I’d be happy to have you gone.

    I simply don’t understand what you gain by asking someone else to block content for you when you could simply do it yourself. You get all the benefits of not seeing the content you don’t like without imposing your will onto others.

    It’s not about blocking content from my feed, it’s about the instance not relaying that content. Maybe you would feel differently if it was child porn?

    Please stop drawing the process out and find somewhere better suited to your preferences.
