Recommendation to defederate from exploding-heads (lemmy.one)

That entire instance is infested with a massive amount of right-wing hate, transphobia, homophobia, and ugly political vitriol under the guise of "allowing free speech", rising to the same level or worse than lemmygrad (which we have already defederated from for obvious reasons). Please get this garbage off of the "all" page given that the entire instance actively breaks the rules of lemmy.one and is only providing them with a larger platform. I think a few trolls may have already spilled over.

just take a 20 second scroll through this mess or any of the other communities there: https://lemmy.one/c/dankmemes@exploding-heads.com

Make them defederate from you. Just galvanize a group of volunteers to mirror everything they post from your own instance, but edit “left” to “right”, “black” to “white”, “Biden” to “trump”, “liberal” to “conservative”, “trans” to “cis”, “gay” to “straight”, and let them decide how “free” they like their speech.

Hate speech with different targets is still hate speech. You're only going to further convince them that they are right to be hateful.

Very true. Thanks for pointing that out.
