Lemmy.world Admin Response to Defederation from Exploding Heads
We're closing this thread. Everything that could be said has been said. Thank you
Original Post:
Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from 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:
https://lemmy.world/post/577526 - Community Moderator Harassment
https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725 - 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.

Are we going to defederate from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml too? Or is blatant tankie spam OK? I have a feeling that this community just wants to censor anything that’s right of center. Which sounds pretty fascist to me if I’m being honest.
Why? Being a communist is not inherently discriminating, and AFAIK we haven't had any problems from them.
If you can show the instance is endorsing discrimination, or discrimination is prevalent, that would make it another matter. But you can't, and you are probably just trying to make a whataboutist argument.
Which sounds pretty fascist to me if I’m being honest.
Another attempt at whataboutism. I hope you still have time to learn.
Communism and Nazism are from the same cloth
No they are not. Although there are similarities in that they are both totalitarian.
Karl Marx wrote about protecting children from dangerous child labor, and protecting workers from exploitation.
While Hitler wrote about Aryan race superiority, and expanding lebensraum to the east through war.
The problem with Communism is that it doesn't work. The problem with Nazism is that it is inherently evil.
No, they want to defederate from aggression and hate. It's not really about politics, it's about insults and threats.
