Why is it every instance admin's responsibility to fix bigots? What is it about running a Lemmy instance that obligates people to actively work to find the one glimmer of redeeming quality in these human septic tanks? Why should the targets of their hatred have to do all the work to avoid being victimized?

Well it isn't, nothing does, and they shouldn't. Bigots are the ones in the wrong here, and kicking them out works plenty well. Bigots spread by being given platforms. Take away even one of those and it lessens the spread.

"We shouldn't have echo chambers" is just propaganda from bigots who were upset that their soapboxes got taken away. Stop falling for it.

Well, once they fix the whole "each instance copies the media from other instances automatically" thing. I'd love to self-host a vanity instance if I didn't have to either worry about CSAM or just nuke the entire pict-rs facility via script.

...actually I wonder if that's an option on kbin. Even if the Mastodon interoperability is a bit wonky right now I like the platform working with both services on ActivityPub (thus why I'm here).

I mean there's Leftism and then there's "North Korea is the only real democracy" and while most Leftists aren't of the latter type you'd be naive to think the ones who are don't exist.

On the contrary, deplatforming works very well. In the wake of Reddit banning FatPeopleHate and CoonTown the Georgia Institute of Technology did a study on walling off and removing "safe spaces" for bigots:

Working from over 100M Reddit posts and comments, we generate hate speech lexicons to examine variations in hate speech usage via causal inference methods. We find that the ban worked for Reddit.

More accounts than expected discontinued using the site; those that stayed drastically decreased their hate speech usage—by at least 80%. Though many subreddits saw an influx of r/fatpeoplehate and r/CoonTown “migrants,” those subreddits saw no significant changes in hate speech usage.

In other words, other subreddits did not inherit the problem.

Banning an entire bigoted instance from yours, i.e. defederating, will accomplish the goal of reducing and removing bigoted behavior from your instance.

What, is it only Nazism if it's from the Reichstag region of WWII Germany, and otherwise it's just Sparkling Fascism?

Maybe ask yourself why it is that when someone explicitly denounces Nazis you feel personally offended.

It’s funny how people always use play it like “oh, it’s just differing opinions” when what they’re actually defending is indefensible malarkey like nazis and tankies. They know if they made a meme saying we should “try to understand” nazis and tankies, they’d be downvoted to oblivion. And so they hide behind a shield of “differing opinions”.

There's an actual term for this: Motte and Bailey. One of many hallmarks of disingenuous shitbirds.

Yes, let's give the Nazis a platform to spew their bullshit. It's entirely so we can laugh at them and completely could not possibly lead to them continuing to propagate their message of hate. /s

Fuck off. Fuck off as far as anyone has ever fucked off before, then dream the impossible dream and fuck off even further.

yukichigai , 10 months ago to memes in Defediverse

Yes, let's enter discussion with the literal Nazis so we can try to understand them. There might be nuance to their calls for mass genocide.

Fuck off OP.

Don't even get me started on the ones who try to argue that "North Korea is more free and democratic than the US".

"Find Me Guilty" in 2006, yeah. I recognized it immediately. He was way bald at the time but damn if I couldn't tell that wasn't natural hair. The makeup department did really good work.

yukichigai , 10 months ago to selfhosted in Please stop with the fearmongering, if you are a US lemmy host follow preserve and report guidelines, stay vigilant, follow ongoing discussions of fixes and solutions and you should be fine.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I know I was taken aback by the prospect that selfhosting meant I'd be caching copies of media uploaded to other instances without any way to opt out of that. It's one thing to provide links, it's another thing to be functioning as a knockoff CDN. That's a bit more than I'm willing to do for the sake of a vanity instance.

Dunno about other browsers, but if you can get Firefox to view .onion links as a separate Application or File Type you should be able to give it a separate associated action, then just select Tor browser as the handler.

Problem is I'm not sure where Firefox stores the File Types list (it's not in about:config) and you can't just add to it via the UI either.
