    Yes, I think it would be best if they would all gather on one instance that can get defederated. Right now they attract users on join-lemmy with “Use humor and facts to hold the ruling class accountable”, no other info.

      Hey Menu, I don’t know if you were one of the ones that downvoted me or not, but I was wondering if you might be able to help me understand why people think the option to shadowban is such a bad idea?

      Edit: What is going on here?! Someone please have mercy and explain…

        I think you got downvoted because people were not looking for a way to make it ok for the racist instances to stay on join-lemmy.

        I am not really familiar with shadowbannig, but users could just check their posts from another instance and find out about the ban.

          Thank you for replying!

          That wouldn’t be the point, but I don’t believe anyone cares to hear the details. No problem, I understand that.

          people were not looking for a way to make it ok for the racist instances to stay on join-lemmy.

          Neither was I, of course. Thank you for this peek into the mentality.
