I saw talk of them being federated with instances like “exploding heads” (literal neo-nazis) and “posting lolis rocks”, along with having interactions from users there. Is that true? idk how to check for that, I can only just barely stumble around the normal forum interface.
If so, why? They’ve been going hard on purging communists user-by-user and comment-by-comment, which seems like a little bit of a secondary concern to nazis and pedos, especially something as simple as just blocking the instances at the very least. What’s going on over there?
What I mentioned, if it is correct, might not be exhaustive, I’m just repeating what I heard about.
Edit: Correction, exploding heads are closer to being latter-day blue checks, complete garbage but not as pressingly bad as the other site.
Like I said, I didn’t know how to actually check, which is why I asked as I did. Thanks for letting me know that lemmy.ml and lemmygrad don’t have the other one blocked, I will dm their admins about that. If you’re a user in good standing, I’d suggest asking your own instance admins about not blocking these two.
I DM’d a lemmygrad admin, next I’ll do so for lemmy.ml now that I can access the site again.
