Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We’re really concerned about Threads and that’s a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?
I’m pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it’s been forced into a bunch of people’s feed.
If not that’s fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?
Instances in general will defederate with other instances that careless about the law. The problem with these people is that they are not there because Lemmy exists. They exist anyway. The question is want you interact with them.
Instances already defederate servers that giving people a platform to write thier illegal shit in the fediverse. They get blocked by users. But they exist anyway.
I think it’s a self regulating system of common sense and in the end there will be bubbles that don’t interact with each other. So basically how it is in social media already.
The difference between the Fediverse and Voat is decentralisation vs. centralisation and this is what the fediverse makes more robust. Aside from it’s challenges regarding it’s protocol with Threads in scope.
