It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Lemm.ee Conservative Community has had an Elon Nazi salute post up for two days now.

IDK about other people but it makes me feel sick to the stomach being federated with such content. I don't really have any problems with Lemm.ee as a whole but I feel like having an uncritical Nazi salute on the network goes against everything Blahaj stands for.

To be honest, while I would encourage admins to ban outspoken Nazis and those who call for the oppression of others, I would also not call for the removal of the Community itself. Let conservatives have a home here, but be clear about the rules they must follow. Ban individuals, not the community. Those who are not fully bought in to the conservative ideology may benefit from the exposure to leftist content that this widely federated Lemmy instance enables.

That being said, I would definitely hope the admins are monitoring to make sure that Nazism and violence are not being freely encouraged on this platform. The fully bought-in MAGA folks are definitely testing the limits, moving from dog whistles to actual threats and harassment.

For this who don't want to see their content, I would encourage you to block the Community in Lemmy's settings, or in your client. Its super easy and effective, and to be honest I had forgotten I had them blocked until now and had no idea what was being posted!

The problem with this idea is that lemm.ee does not have strong moderation and content rules, and that is the exact sort of environment that extremism worms its way into and takes advantage of. I don't expect the admin team to have the time to police the community with a fine enough comb to catch all of the bad content, and I don't trust the moderators of any self-titled conservative community to do that job properly.

These communities are ultimately more trouble than they're worth, and as such I would prefer to see them shunted away from the major servers. Let them build their own hexbear, lemmygrad, or ml. But I don't think that their regressivism and bigotry have any place here.

If you happened to see my previous reply, ignore it, I deleted it... I came back to this post after a long day at work and typed a bunch of shit that made no sense.
