It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies.

In my new community I expect the exclution of racist communities. It is easy now with defederation. Nazis can do whatever they want on their instances, but the instances I want to be part of should not amplify their shit and flush it into our timelines.

The instance-admin of !thedonald@sh.itjust.works did not reply to my message. Big instances seem not to defederate with them.

The new TD may not be a success, the point is not to give Nazis a platform like it is happening now. Fans of TD are racists.

Where are the instances that show face against racism?

I guess racism is a worldview? As long as individuals can just never visit that dark corner of the Internet, it doesn’t need to be technically defederated, thereby not blocking other non-fascist and racist communities.

If you don't want to see it, you have the tools to block the community. Users should also have the ability to block entire instances. Instead of trying to push your agenda onto everyone else, maybe join an instance like beehaw that is already doing that. You'll be much more welcomed there and won't be ruining things for people who prefer to moderate themselves.

I opened that community, I didn't see any racist posts

Support for Trump is inherently racist, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic.

Good lord. These are the people wanting to control what others see. It's insane the hoops they have to jump through to seem legitimate.

Just say, "I don't like Trump and I don't want anyone else to see support for him." You'll come across as more genuine.

Not being from USA, I could not really care any less about Trump.

But your take is just insane in my opinion.

To me it seems like that the hate towards Trump is purely political, and I did not really see a strong evidence of him being that wildly racist

No it isn't. Get your head out of the sand.

"I'm not a bigot I just don't consider being a bigot to be a deal breaker" is such a weird defense for voting Trump.
