Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat? (lemm.ee)

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?

guessing you haven't seen the massive defederation wave against anything racist or bigoted. this complaint is a about a non-issue.

Is there a list of known racist instances that I can use to defederate my instance from?

Look at beehaw defederated list. That should give you an idea.

Fun fact, lemmynsfw is not defederated by beehaw.

Yes sir, there's lots of lists. Go to any instance that is a safe space and check out their defederation lists.
