    Lemmy users are in an uproar because MAGA fascists spun up their own server.

    First time seeing this? Mastodon and Pleroma already have dozens of these.

    We know the playbook: blocks, defederation, and they end up marooned on their own little island.

    And if your server doesn’t cut them off? That’s your cue to pack up and migrate.

      Bro. You're saying first time seeing this as if we have not been dealing with this for years too.

      This ain't new. This instance maybe, but not this problem.

      Edit: Evidently, calling this person 'Bro' is a violation of the first rule of being civil. Something the mod refused to make public and instead jumped into my DMs about. Well, at least I know what community to block. Not going to be any conversation of value gotten here if that level of petty micromanaging is going to be the default. Good luck kiddo.

        Yes, that’s what I’m saying.

        Also, we’re not related. Refrain from the bro-speak.

              The core of federation isn’t just freedom of speech—it’s also freedom of association. That means you can say whatever you like, but you’re not entitled to an audience. If I don’t want to associate with you, I won’t federate with you. Federation is a right, not a privilege.

              That said, this is a formal warning to remain civil. If you choose not to, a ban will follow.

                Just to clarify:

                This post wasn’t written on Lemmy at all. The original came from Akkoma, then was cross-posted to Piefed.

                So when I ask “First time seeing this?”, I’m not addressing Lemmy users specifically—it’s aimed at the Fediverse as a whole, where plenty of people still don’t realize far-right servers exist.

                  Are they? No links for the uproar?

                  What is this maga instance?

                      @atomicpoet @fediversenews this isn't really news, "bad instance popped up and people don't like it so it's being defederated" is kinda just normal goings-on

                            I sorta hate defederation (outside of legal reasons). I want as a user to control this but blocking instances does not really work which is annoying.

                              You can always spin up your own server and control every aspect of federation, which is what I’ve done with atomicpoet.org.

                                I had thought about this but like I have not even progressed with experimenting with an image based linux on my laptop. I doubt I will do it.

                                  Honestly, Lemmy was already pretty zionist from what I saw, the mods on the larger instances were shutting down palestine support which is why I left. Too many former reddit mods took the same positions on Lemmy.

                                      Lemmy users are in an uproar because MAGA fascists spun up their own server.

                                      First time seeing this? Mastodon and Pleroma already have dozens of these.

                                      We know the playbook: blocks, defederation, and they end up marooned on their own little island.

                                      And if your server doesn’t cut them off? That’s your cue to pack up and migrate.

                                      Hi everyone, I’m locking this thread on Piefed because it’s clearly being brigaded by people from outside the community.

                                      To our regular members: thank you for your thoughtful participation. If you’d like to continue the discussion in good faith, please join me on the original thread or message me directly.

                                      For those brigading: please understand, it doesn’t matter if you personally don’t consider a term offensive. If I’ve said that I find it offensive and I’ve politely asked you in private not to use it, then the respectful thing to do is to not use it.
