Im seeing a lot of things, on some communities. Like they could be nazis or denying the Uighur’s genocide.

What are we talking about exactly.

So pls, explain me like I’m 5 :)

Ty all

Edit : ty all very much for your answers. Morality for me : clearly don’t give a shit sometimes, can help to be mindfull. Basics that’s what I’ve should take care of. Its fediverse. And in bonus they are not fucking naziiiiiii :)

    There’s no lemmy admin, there’s only admins for lemmy instances. Some instances like lemmygrad are far left and literal communists, while I’m sure there’s already some popping up that have nazi sympathizers.

    Part of being a federated service means anyone can start up their own instances. The only thing that can be done is blocking problematic instances.

      This is super important to take note of - the whole idea of a Fediverse is that if you don’t like a particular community or instance, you can create one of your own that subscribes to your ideals. It’s a feature not a bug.

        I think a lot of people are going to have difficulty coming to terms with the implications. There are no doubt going to be unapologetic nazi instances out there at some point, if there aren’t some already.

        I think the benefits outweigh the downsides, but it’s something people should keep in mind. You can’t just ban people from the fediverse like you can Reddit or Twitter.

        I personally can see it both ways. I think the biggest problem we have in society atm is we live in echo chambers on the internet. So having a platform that makes that inherently a feature I’m against.

        But at the same time the great thing about the fediverse is I can just roll my own instance that doesn’t ban anyone if I wanted to.

          Exactly my thoughts 👍.

          If things get more hairy, I might even just do that. It’ll be a lot of work maintaining it, but… IDK, maybe it will be worth it.

      So creators ( all or one between many ) of Lemmy despite being ultra left or right, create their own instances to share theses problematics ideas ? And let the principal instance (who is promoting Lemmy ) clean of theses l ?

      Sorry my English…

        No. Anyone can create a lemmy server and have whatever rules they want. Other lemmy servers can block servers they do not like, but unlike Reddit there is no single admin team that can block someone from all lemmy servers.

      Hey, it was me running an instance, I wouldn’t even block the nazi ones. I wouldn’t allow it on my instance, but I wouldn’t defderate. You don’t like it? Block it 🤷. I just hate snowflakes 😒.

      I wouldn’t defederate from any instance, ever. Because there is a simple solution. Block it 😉.
