Lemmy.world still discussing if they want to defederate from an instance taken over by exploding-heads.

An instance that includes such gems as

CW Transphobia, Homophobia

https://rammy.site/post/326086

Strange pattern emerging from lemmy.world with an admin advertising their business in the adhd community, allowing virulently Islamophobic atheistmemes community and now repeating the exploding-heads (we have to patiently discuss blocking the instance) course of action instead of a preemptive defederation, it is their last resort though.

The post on lemmy.world discussing it as well: https://lemmy.world/post/2680147

As of this post the blocked instances are here

      So they're openly admitting that they're treating a transphobic nazi instance better than a trans inclusive leftist one. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, every single time.

          "suck off a liberal and a fascist cums"

          Lmao do they not understand the concept of in-jokes? Fucking children. This guy sounds like he's either a teenager or very early twenties.

          When I mentioned it in the lemmy instance admin chat they kept demanding an explanation for how I could possibly say "suck off a liberal and a fascist cums"

          What boring losers.

          Most libs won't deny that if they get attacked, they'll move to the right, and there's tons of historical evidence, did you explain to them the thing about scratched liberals?

        From the LW admin:

        Honestly those ultra right-wingers are pretty bad but the ultra left-wingers are worse.

          The right wingers are people they can feel smugly superior to. A nazi can be dismissed out of hand and you don't really have to argue the point. You can just coast on not being obviously terrible.

          A left winger will be a lot harder to dismiss out of hand. Same reason people get irrationally angry at vegans, climate change protestors and anti-discrimination activists. And you have to do ridiculous mental gymnastics to justify not improving things and that everything is fine actually.

          Self crit is the worst nightmare of a Liberal.

      "LW Admins must be Nazi lovers and transphobes" so that one is correct then

      I'm having trouble finding it in the Matrix room. Do you happen to have screenshots or preferably a timestamp we can scroll up to in the official room?

      Please don't think it's because I don't trust you. But they seem to be doing a damn good job taking command of the narrative and I'm seeing if we can get an archive of public recorded interactions for the Hexbear vs Dotworld incident going. Something unbiased we can post that's independently verifiable and can allow general Lemmy users to form their own conclusions.
