Let's start with that the mod of this sub, ramos, a 2 days old user, banned me because of "Spam and scam", when I asked for sources + I said "Hi I'm Taylor Swift, nice to meet you".
Here is the mod log

Even when an another user comments " Can you please stop titling all your posts "BREAKING:", its incredibly clickbaity." comment gets removed for being scam.
I wouldn't even comment on his post, if he did provide a source or something that can validate what he posts, but posting images with "BREAKING" in capitals and some photo with text on it and no source, it looks like a facebook or twitter misinformation thing.
And I ask you now PTB, YDI, YDM, BPR or CLM?
Sh.itjust.works isn't great either, but it's more varied and I'm not sure merits defederating.
We have some dogshit communities but the instance isn't closed and registration is not vetted. There's maybe three or four communities anyone could block without requiring defederation.
The worst parts have zero loyalty or connection to the instance. They're just as ready to operate out of piefed or another instance, and typically do so already.
I see a variety from sh.it just.works users. You do not need to defend your instance from me
Almost every time I go to block someone for being the kind of vile piece of irredeemable shit even I can't talk to¹, its @Lemmy.world²
I'm not sure I've ever thought 'fuck yeah!' Or 'I think this person is so cool!' about a .world user.
¹some of my favorite people to talk with at various points in my life include: the playground psychopath who had special nice tweezers reserved for pulling wings off flies, my methhead uncle's methhead neighbor, a pedophile, a serial killer, several edgelord humanities professors, a borderline/nascent nazbol. I swear to fuck these fucking turbolibs are genuinely worse to interact with than Nazis, and I include the times when Nazis have been holding weapons and circling me calmly calling me slurs.
²5/7 on this account, which is a lower proportion than I'd expect.
it doesn't facilitate the main communities but itself has a nazi bar problem
Im not a part of db0 so I don't have any say about if .world should be defederated or not
IMO everyone should. Isn't hexbear defederated from that shit hole¹? You have a position of experience to comment from.
¹ .world I mean
Hexbear is, but I only joined recently.
before that I was just in general lemmy, which actually defed from hexbear and lemmygrad. obviously, my opinions have changed and my politics have shifted, i frankly cant in good conscience interact or look at it anymore, it may have good people but i simply disagree with far too many things, it feels the only thing in common is them being on a spectrum of pro lgbtq and vaguely supporting palestine (but not the forces that prevent the genocide)
They tend to have a certain entitled sanctimonious chauvanism and calculated resilient ignorance I can't fucking stand.
If I had to choose a group to not exist from between liberals and open Nazis, open Nazis poof out every time, but I genuinely find them less infuriating intransigent and personally offensive when they talk.
And I'm an open queer who tends towards they/them pronouns. Those fuckers want me dead.
If you make the Nazis disappear, the liberals are still there to allow the Nazis to grow anew - if you make the liberals disappear, the Nazis will never be able to exist in the first place.
You can't have fascism without liberalism.
Valid, but that would take a while.
