I’m wondering if there has been any consideration for Aussie.zone to defederate with MAGA.place?

    The instance only seems to have two active users, so you’re asking us to analyse them directly:

    Clicked a few of their video links. Got antivaxx stuff (that isn’t obviously antivax until you watch it). Going to have to delete my youtube cookies now :P

    They’re not enforcing their racism & xenophobia rules. Eg this

    Some of their comments give me a feeling they want to sow division, whilst projecting this onto others. That’s not good on an online forum.

    @Gnugit@aussie.zone I assume this is your motivation? https://aussie.zone/post/31189469

      Essentially, my motivation for the post is driven by the constant bombardment of hate and stupidity that comes from MAGA. Whereas on the flip side I suffer from the paradox of tolerance so there will be some hate reciprocated by me.

      You may see that I often shoot my mouth off inappropriately if you look at my comments, it’s been a lifelong skill of mine unfortunately but I have learned to live with it.

    Eh, unless they become a direct issue, I don’t see us ever interacting with them. They’re gonna have fun with the overwhelming dislike of their emperor on like 99% of Lemmy instances lol

      I don’t use All as much as I do Local so I’m ambivalent. That said, I would consider defederating to make a point - we do not support instances which are hypocritical and whose entire userbase is based in bigotry.
