IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don’t really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.
Lemm.ee admin here. Sorry about that, y’all. We took further action and removed the mods from that community. More context in my post here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/22091983/12982889
I just saw a report on it and I’ve removed the post.
Thanks. My concern is being federated with such a community in the first place. It is a shame there isn’t a community-wide way to block just one community from an instance.
I can do that. The fact the mods left it up for so long is reason enough
Does that mean i have to find a new instance? I thought our admins were good
I don’t know whether the admins are aware of it. If a mod rejected the report, the admins wouldn’t even see it. Might be an idea to ask them?
The admins of lemm.ee are well aware of that community. From what I understand they choose to allow mods to run their communities how they see fit and rarely decide to interfere with them. Doesn’t seem great, seems like a system that’ll let shit like this happen over and over in the future.

I agree, and I personally would not hold it against the lemmy.blahaj.zone admins if they chose to defederate lemm.ee on that basis. Admins need to stand up and be willing to “interfere” with communities to uphold order and standards or the instance becomes a toxic cesspit very quickly.
It was the nazi salute specifically that I was referring to
Oh
She is only blocking the community, not the instance
I think we dont need conservative communities on lemmy, we can do without them
I think modern conservatism is a sign of deficient cognitive ability and lack of empathy, but I don’t think we should outright block them. That’s the sort of thing they advocate. If they’re celebrating a nazi salute, sure. Let’s get rid of them. But we should be better than they. Of course, this makes me sound like a lib when I’m actually a Leftist, but I’m just trying not to discriminate.
Rightwing people: you suck for delivering us this living hell.
maybe the key is forcing them to interact with regular people who don’t like them, idk. i’m old and tired and getting older and tireder by the day. just force them to face consequences for their bullshit over and over until they get it. make a shitty community? disband the community. make a shitty meme? remove the shitty meme. be a shitty person? ban the shitty person.

Best I can give you is resigned condescension.
dorks, all of them.
maybe the key is shooting them all to Mars.
i mean sure, i’m down
Yeah i’m staying down here on Earth as well.
As someone who used to be stuck in that I couldn’t agree more. It absolutely is a lack of empathy and cognitive ability, but also it persists because they think it’s cool and accepted. I know that’s why I followed it as long as I did. So I say block it. It doesn’t do anyone any good and the less people see it the less they’ll think its cool.
Alternative view points are good to have, don’t want a echo chamber. That said, being a Nazi, supporting them, or attacking trans, LQBTQ folks isn’t a difference of opinion ; it’s a fundamental flaw of the far right, treating humans as less than such. That is not an agreeable stance.
Honestly, modern conservatism is largely indistinguishable from Nazi-ism at this point anyway.
Modern conservatism is a cancer that deserves and needs to be squashed out. It has an outright dangerous and seductive quality to it. It took me years to get over it many people don’t ever get out of it.
So echo chamber argument isn’t a good one. If anything modern conservatism is itself an echo chamber, that squashes all opposing viewpoints.
There’s an ancient mod who doesn’t post anymore, a bot, and a fascist mod. That’s who they are now.
That tracks.
Is lemm.ee conservative? I had no idea… not sarcasm
Less conservative and more… Allows different opinions as long as they aren’t outright dangerous.
Plenty of left leaning people on lemm.ee, myself included. Conservatives chose to make a community here because they felt it was a good place for freedom of speech, which it is. If you choose to create a socialist community, you’re welcome too. If you’re a tankie and say everyone from the Baltics deserves to be raped to death for leaving the Soviet union… Then we do not welcome you.
Uhh I’m in the same boat… I wouldn’t call myself a “conservative” … I just was looking for an instance that wasn’t completely full. If there’s some Nazi shit going on here, I’m out.
There is conservative community? On Lemmy???
Several, just not very active.
what are conservatives doing on Lemmy anyways??
I try not to block the conservative communities, but they have been extra obnoxious lately. I guess people are finding Lemmy, and with them come humans.
would love if you shared your blocklist with me, so I can block any I haven’t already 😄
I really thought all the blahaj communities were heavily left leaning. What was the community?
That’s not a blahaj community. It’s hosted on another instance.
In any case, the mods and poster are banned now, and the community has been blocked
the mods and poster are banned now, and the community has been blocked
Huzzah!
I believe OP is talking about /c/conservative on the lemm.ee instance (not sure if I can share this, not intending to brigade, and I am intentionally not directly linking there)
Oh okay, because the way it’s formatted I thought it was a blahaj community and was really surprised
