Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from
https://exploding-heads.com/ [https://exploding-heads.com/]. We understand that
defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block
communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to
vulnerable communities. After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts,
and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads
is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot,
in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes
hate, racism, and bullying. Examples:

- Community Moderator Post Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not
taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a
case-by-case bases. As for our community, please refrain from posting or
commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is
not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments
violating our server rules. Lemmy Code of Conduct

Of the examples they gave I really think only Fisuxcel’s tranny faggot comment was ban worthy. And even then he’s not even a admin here and lemmy world could have just deleted his community.
I suggest in the future admin’s keep their edgy content on alt accounts and in communities that pussy instances can just block.
In this way federation may work a little better.
On the one hand, fuck lemmy world. On the other hand, instances defederating hurts everyone so I do think it is our responsibility to work with them a little bit if they can be reasonable about it.
I take full responsibility for my Biden Pedo post which was featured. Biden is a Pedo but it was animated and perhaps I could have tagged it nsfw.
Fyi in my day when we said something was gay in that manner it meant it was lame, dumb, retarded, stupid, irrelevant, ridiculous not sexual in the sense
Yes being born in the eighties, it was like that back in my day too. But than you meet people who are gay, who are good normal people trying to simply fucking exist and are hurt when you use that word negatively. Then you realize that’s not right and that shouldn’t be used as a slur. Same with calling someone “retarded”.
The use or definition of words can change over time.
I understand your argument, but it seems like in my opinion that the woke left has an ever-changing spectrum of what is and isn’t acceptable and personally I’m tired of playing along. I am hosting this community as a free speech, absolutism community where people can say impose, whatever they want without fear of being exiled or banned unless it violates the patriot act which has specifically a list of what is and is not acceptable for online speech. Also, I try to uphold my other administrators rules as well. I would advise you to block this community if you do not like the Content in it or are someone who is easily offended (no insult intended) if you need assistance using the block feature, I am always happy to help
Ever changing spectrum of what isn’t and is acceptable? Yes, you probably wish you could go back to the times when it was cool to call black people the n-word and they would high five you. “Personally I’m tired to be responsible for my actions and thoughtful for my fellow humans.”
And then “why did everyone defederate with us? don’t they like free speech?”
I know how to block instances. I have a clean account on other instances, don’t worry. I’m here like I would visit a zoo.
Im against racism of that sort, I could tell you a personal story about how the KKK handed flyers for some sort of event around my town when I was a kid during the 90s and how it caused a lot of hurt amongst the community but I’ll spare you the drama. And as far as Black people go, I have many black friends and I used to be in an all black rap group as the only white member and my ex wife was hatian. Also, I would like to note that I drive trucks for a living and that there was a guy from Africa who was not getting many hours but was a great guy, so I personally invited him onto my truck to work as my helper, and now he is doing great getting lots of hours And able to put food on the table for himself and his wife and young child.
Pressing X for doubt on this whole reply. So you’re against racism of “that sort” but pretty easy-going on the other sort. You know, the good kind of racism. Explain the good kind of racism so I can better understand?
But I bet it took a look of character not to join the KKK. I mean that’s where every normal person would draw the line and say “no that’s too far, those kkk guys seem a bit racist”.
Also, that you found the time to be so generous towards black people in between fucking all those blondes is heartwarming. You truly are the admin they deserve here.
But you do. You’ve been replying all the time because you want to prove that you’re not an asshole, not a bigot, not a racist, not homophobic. And that you’re just doing this for “free speech”.
To be honest, I don’t know why I do this. I think I just do it because I’ve built friendships with other people and it all started three years ago on another website, where people of all walks of life flocked to my room, and on the website of thousands it dominated the trending board and back then it had way worse material in terms of what you would consider offensive, and I even allowed nazis free reign to say what they wanted so that people could see how ridiculous they were unlike now because obviously all they really want to do is just say the N-word millions of times like a poster i banned a few days back

Oh fuck off, I personally don’t give a fuck what you think, you know you’re twisting my words and being a Cunt about it
