Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads - Lemmy.world
lemmy.worldToday, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from
https://exploding-heads.com/ [https://exploding-heads.com/]. We understand that
defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block
communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to
vulnerable communities. After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts,
and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads
is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot,
in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes
hate, racism, and bullying. Examples:

- Community Moderator Post Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not
taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a
case-by-case bases. As for our community, please refrain from posting or
commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is
not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments
violating our server rules. Lemmy Code of Conduct

It gives me hope for the future of beehaw refederating with that instance. They host some interesting communities. To be clear, I fully support beehaw defederating, it’s just heartwarming to see instance admins do things that move things forward
“Oh shit! This is a nazi bar!”
"Wait a minute, there’s something bothering me about this place…
“I know! This Nazi bar doesn’t have a fire exit!”
