Some communities there are literally calling for the annihilation of Ukraine

https://programming.dev/comment/1999097

edit: Since people are either willfully or otherwose are missing my point, this is a pro-russia, pro-fascist hate group, therefore we shouldn't give them the platform to spread their shit. this is not about me seeing their community or then causing issues accross other communities, it's about de-platforming fascists.

The better question is why can’t you moderate yourself and block what you don’t want to see? Although with the above screenshot it’s like you’re looking for it.

it showed up on my feed against my will and I dislike spreading fascism and genocide apologism.

a better question is, why are you okay with it?

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

How this was shown to you against your will? You had blocked it and it was shown anyway? How would lemmy know what's every users will?

[-] kameecoding@programming.dev -1 points 1 year ago

before I blocked it, obviously

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

So just now you have "told" lemmy what is your will. Not before

[-] calavera@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

You told it was shown against your will, but you hadn't stated your will to the platform

so what does it help if I block it? I can block it out, that doesn't solve anything, it will still be there.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago

They'll still be there even if defederated.

[-] kameecoding@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

but not accessible from this instance.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, I guess I can't argue with that.

[-] kameecoding@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I mean, I have no idea why you are arguing in the first place, you are basically arguing against the de-platforming of fascists.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 year ago

You were able to discern all that from me clarifying that they'd still exist even if your instance members didn't see them?

[-] kameecoding@programming.dev -2 points 1 year ago

is this elementary school math? do I need to show my work here?

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago

Clearly, because my comment was made not being sure you knew what defederation entailed. Then I agreed with you, and you're still frothing.

[-] willya@lemmyf.uk 7 points 1 year ago

Some of their stuff finally hit my feed. I’ve blocked them on my instance. I take what I said back.

[-] HairHeel@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, even if programming.dev defederates with it, it'll still be there...

[-] kameecoding@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

one less platform to spread
