Petition: Defederate from exploding-heads.com
As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I've got from that instance were low-quality transphobic "news articles".
You're viewing a single thread.
Just block their domain in your instance.
How? I can only block communities, but not a whole instance.
Follow this link. On the right hand side you will see a box that says "domain" and beneath that "exploding-heads.com" underneath that there is a box with a link to subscribe and a symbol to block. Click on the symbol to block.
Moderation has not caught up with kbin's growth, despite the devs being very busy. Maybe it's best just to block for now. I'm sure that kbin will take out the trash once moderation tools and mod teams are in place.
On edit: These instructions won't work for you, because as @vaguerant pointed out, you are not on a kbin server. However, I'm going to leave the comment up for any kbin users who might want to block that instance.
You're talking to someone from tchncs.de, a Lemmy server. These kbin instructions won't suit their purposes.
D'oh! I thought I saw kbin.social when I moused over their username. Obviously, I was mistaken. Thanks for the heads-up!
Ty for the insight. Growing pains 😩
Cheers for the refresher, forgot that on kbin we have a block button for that. It's a good stopgap measure in the short term if people don't want to see these types of communities
I asked this another day. It will allow them to spread their nazi bs to new people who aren’t aware, which can become especially dangerous because they rhetoric will be unseen and unchecked by those who blocked them.
Personally I think that’s a good enough justification for defederating vs blocking. They are outright nazis after all, idk if we really need to wring our hands over it.
Why should I subject others to trash? It's selfish and not even self-serving since that filth drives like-minded folks away making this space smaller.
I simply don't want far-right to spread where I hang. Keep it to yourself.
The beautiful thing about federated instances is that you can block whole domains from sources you don't like. If people are leftist they can block righty's and righty's can block leftist domains. Federation is beatiful
Yeah and instances can too and I want to support a space that moderates and directs stuff to the right direction on behalf of me. Beautiful.
If you really don't like it..create a new instance and only federate what you want.
Hey, likewise!
