I've joined this instance because of the rules and the communist lean
However it's clear that the worldnews modding rotten. Fascist/xenophobic/antisemite users have their posts alive while those who call them out get hidden or even banned.
As it is the main news community of the instance, I understand how it can be seen as an instance issue instead of user preference to use some smaller community.
I agree, thats bad news (hehe). Have you tried either reporting said actions (via the button or mail to the admins)?
If that doesnt help, document three obvious cases and make it public. Ask for the two instance rules in question to be removed since the instance doesnt acrually abide by them and having them but not enforcing them is bigotry in itself.
You might have to do that a couple times but if you can stay constructive and report+block every troll while doing this you might drive change. I would know, I changed a lot of places for the better.
It is hard though because all, lazy people, bigots and trolls will have a field day coming after you. I would know, I was there multiple times.
Good luck.
Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn't lead to admin action.
I know that. But getting harassed leads to people stopping their action so I block every troll without warning. That way I can keep going even if they start flooding in. I must have like 300 accounts on my blocklist by now.
I dont block different opinions, mind you.
