Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We're really concerned about Threads and that's a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?

I'm pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it's been forced into a bunch of people's feed.

If not that's fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?

Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it's 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.

I've blocked two users who spam pro-China propaganda non stop in that /c/. Ugh

It's definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.

I saw that yesterday I assume Lemmygrad will be blocked soon the last thing we need is nazis and tankies using the fediverse as their personal propaganda soapbox.

[-] Ohthereyouare@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Lol, oh good, they've seen this. I forgot to mention, they also brigade. 5 downvotes in 5 minutes.

[-] TooL@lemmy.ca -4 points 1 year ago

Yep. I'd be perfectly fine with defederating from lemmy.ml. It's just as bad as lemmygrad. Tankies are fucking annoying and they all brigade like crazy.
