    They’re welcome to it.

    As far as I’m concerned, this is the entire benefit of lemmy/piefed/etc… They can have their space, and any other instance can choose not to federate with them so we aren’t forced to listen to them, unlike the alternative, where an algorithm forces them into everyone’s face.

    Rather than telling them they don’t have the right to speak, we simply have the ability to shut our window and not listen to them.

    Let them bitch at each other.

        that’s good. they should vet any new mods on their own spaces pretty thoroughly though. the chuds on reddit played a very long game to get to the point where they can do that they do now

      We have the modlog, all mod actions are not only visible to other mods and admins but to everyone.

      Though there definitely could be some improvement and there have been changes made by dessalines to make it less useful allegedly to protect themselves, it still should be able to prevent that kind of shenanigans

    I’ve noticed a significant uptick in rightist trolls on the fediverse since the devil called Charlie Kirk home. Absolutely nowhere is safe from fascist infiltration for long. Hopefully the half decent instances defederate from those cesspits en masse.

    Why would they not just stay on Twitter, Truth Social, reddit or Facebook? Those places are tailor-made for MAGA 🤔

      In the novel Snow Crash, the residents of the white-supremacist micro-state franchises visit other places because they have no non-whites to attack at home.

    1 month later: why is our new instance filled exclusively with incels and edgelords and fuckwits?

      1 year + 1 day later: turns out all instances are running on non-American servers.

    I went to maga.place and it’s so edgy! Some 13 year old is having a good laugh at their own jokes.

    I know it’s brand new, but as of right now it seems like a waste of time to even talk about it.

    Could be a different story a week from now, but until then who cares.

    Beware of what? It’s no different than any other instance and capable of being subscribed to, scrolled past or blocked.

    Stop advertising for them and let them have their federated echo chamber, just like the communists, socialists, leftists and others have.
