Does this instance have a stance on right wing disinformation communities?

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨lagomorphlecture@lemm.ee⁩ to ⁨meta@lemm.ee⁩

There’s a new one suddenly popping up in my feed but obviously the reports are being “resolved” by the mods of that community. They suggested to me that I block their community but I will not because that is how you get a cesspit of an instance. How do we report disinformation communities straight to the admins?

The admin here takes a conservative stance on defederation. He doesn’t do it unless there are lemm.ee rules violations or network abuse. I haven’t looked at any explodingheads content, but if does not violate any lemm.ee rules and presents no network abuse it will probably not get defederated.

I agree with the lemm.ee’s admin philosophy on defederation and that’s one of the reasons this is my home instance. In general you can’t call for defederation just because you don’t agree with content. If it’s blatantly offensive then I suppose that would be valid grounds, but I would hope that reason is used sparingly. I mean discussion that’s offensive to you may not be offensive to me.

  So in other words, it’s been taken over by right-wingers. 🤦 Wasted my time again.

    If you want to create an eco chamber for yourself, you could’ve just said so.

    Well that’s an overreaction. That vaccines community mentioned here sounds stupid but to say this entire instance has been taken over by right wingers because of one nut job? Is that really what you’re saying?

This instance is still federated with explodingheads, so I wouldn’t expect anything to come of this. I saw the community you’re speaking about and it seems to be pretty small-time. You’re best off just blocking it.

  Do I even want to know what that is? I’ll give the admins a chance to respond but if I don’t agree with the response I’ll just delete my account here, because otherwise more of this will pop up and I’ll have the entire instance blocked and then what’s the point?

    Explodingheads is an edgy, red-pilled, manosphere-loving, alt-right instance. A real den of scum and villainy type place. Many of the larger instances have already de-federated with them.
    
    I have to say, though, despite the fact that Lemm.ee hasn’t yet followed suit, I haven’t seen any posts from there in the local/all feeds.

It’s barely even misinformation, but definitely some of the laziest trolling I’ve seen in years.

  He’s doing that because I upset him but if you look at the actual links they go to known disinformation sites.

The amount of idiots sitting here defending right wing propaganda trolls is fucking incredible. No one wants them, and they ruin everything they come in contact with, ban them. It’s not the end of the world, and if they wanna spread their bullshit let them pay for their own server to host it on. ThE fAr LeFt nEoLiBeRaL eLiTe ArE SiLeNcInG uS. Get real, no one buys your bullshit, and no one wants to pretend to have a conversation with you

This is a general-purpose instance on a decentralized platform that doesn’t have much of an algorithm. All of us here most likely run into things we don’t like or want to see, and as long as it’s not illegal I think things like this will still be allowed. You can always block communities and follow ones that you like to tailor what you see. If you’re looking for more specific content all around, I’d join an instance that’s more specific to the type of content you’re looking for

  We’re talking about a community that is dedicated to posting misinformation and apparently trolling. It is very common for that kind of content and community to be explicitly forbidden in general purpose online communities because that isn’t general purpose content. This isn’t a matter of things people simply don’t want to see. It’s content that has proven to be problematic for any community that it infiltrates and generally results in a decline in quality and decorum.

I find the content engaging and uplifting.

  Unsurprisingly your comment received nothing but downvotes because you mistake enraging for engaging.
