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?

edit2: @TheDude deleted the community :)
Admins can remove single remote communities instead of having to defederate the whole instance completely.
This seems like a good compromise; defederation is an extreme step and ought to mostly be reserved for behavior that threatens the whole network (rampant spambots e.g.).
How does that work, exactly? I though defederation at the instance level was the only real tool.
If you’re an admin you can visit any remote community and click on “remove”. You can even remote comments or posts from being visible to users of your instance. It’s not ideal because it’s on a case by case basis instead of it being an instance-wide silence which is often a better solution that doesn’t require you to hunt down remote instances and remove them manually while it also doesn’t break federation.
