I thought the same thing when Voat started as a mirror to Reddit. It was similar for a while but every time a troll or Nazi was ejected from Reddit they migrated to Voat. Eventually I was one of the last liberals there. Is there anyone maintaining order here or will it be the wild west ?

I think the lemmy structure really annoys trolls and right-wingers. They could register on a server, but they would have to play by the rules (be nice, don't be a nazi etc), which they really don't want. So they want their own server, but quickly realize that they'll be alone there with their miserable peers, which they also don't like.

I'm new to this federated thing, what prevents the nazi from hosting his own Lemmy instance where being a nazi is ok, and the content from the nazi instance showing up in "all"?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing. This server existed, it was called wolfballs.com. lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, feddit.de and many others had this server blocked. So nothing was showing up from them.

That's the beauty of the fediverse - your server has disgusting content, you get deplatformed/defederated.

not everybody likes this ;)

What disgusting content do people want here, and why should we care?

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh sorry I meant right-wingers don't like it. I meant to be funny, but apparently failed...

[–] Teotwawki@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Gotcha. Sorry, I'm just used to right-wingers inserting vile comments into Reddit threads so my humor meter may be miscalibrated.

I can't be the only one half expecting some maximum rage comment reply to appear at any given moment.

I'm really looking forward to see how this community feels over time, without the ad-driven rage-promoting algorithms. Hopeful.

No you're right, this will probably happen here one day too. Big instance will have problems with moderation I fear.
