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

Or you just block any communities from the instance you don’t like. It’s slightly less convenient than one button for the whole instance, but it does the same thing.

Or your instance can defederate instances that go against their principles (the whole point of defederation) and you can create an account on the other.

I don’t like the concept of the owners of instances acting like dictators. We had that on Reddit. No point in being on Lemmy if that’s the ethos. I’d rather the owners let us decide our own experience.

Wasnt that supposed to be the entire fucking point? That's why when everyone was saying the fediverse is the next thing since sliced bread, I was like nah dude, you really falling for that shit? It's all about the power of isolation. Lemmy won't last very long. Everyone will eventually be segregated and by doing that, it creates lower amounts of user content. We'll 1000 instances with 30 ppl on each. Yea makes real sense. Great fucking idea not to mention the 1k accounts you'll need to use those instances

Damn it's definitely not like that sort of separation is how the internet ran for a couple decades with BBS's, vBulletin forums, and usenet groups. And it worked great until the corporations bought everything out.

Defederating from and isolating hate groups is something the entire internet has also been doing for decades. Find something better to defend.
