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?

Seriously. Defederation should be a last resort against spammers and outright attacks on other instances, not because you dont agree with a single community.

Historically this group has been responsible for an absolute shitload of spam and outright attacks.

I was doxxed by them. They had links to a discord group that included my full name, address, email, and phone number. There was a whole list, it's one of the first reasons they were quarantined. There was a comment that read "anyone with spare bullets can send them here".

This is a lot more than "I simply don't agree with that community". They are trash who will trash up any platform they can reach.

Sounds like a great place to practice OPSEC. But sucks if you get doxxed for real. I hope you're safe.

100% agree

Also, it should be noted that this 'The_Donald' community is literally just one user making posts.
