Dear Admins of the Lemmy.world instance I am asking that you please consider defederating from the rammy.site instance as soon as possible as the admin is no where to be found and it has been taken over by right wing posters posting hateful messages. There are also other people posting large amounts of spam and creating empty communities. What was once a small hobby run general purpose instance has been turned over and made into a festering right wing hate filled breeding ground by the people from exploding-heads. The only recoarse left it seems is to defederate to prevent them from spreading hate to other instances.

PS. I already sent this message to multiple admins here, sorry about that I just felt it was urgent to make sure the message was sent before these people cause more damage.

Ah...the same old brain dead argument. Right wingers always hide behind "muh free speech" and the like, but fail to mention how their policies actively attempt to strip the rights of others to be free.

In a space that respects free speech, you fundamentally cannot have a party that wishes to restrict free speech for others, as that defeats the point of free speech. Or rather, the concept of "absolute free speech" is utter nonsense on the face of it, as there will always be restrictions on what is and isn't okay to talk about in any human group.

One could easily argue that putting these people into their own little cesshole communities is giving them free speech in their own shitty space. And of course, if you don't like it you are free to leave for their space or simply shut up and play nice with the other kids in the instances you frequent - thats the beauty of the fediverse.

The free speech argument is especially hilarious for a lot of conservative spaces, including /r/Conservative.

With the majority of threads marked "Conservatives Only" and constant bitching that up votes and down votes were due to brigadding.

Oh and slyly removing comments they don't like for whatever reason.

It's projection all around, as is typical for conservatives.
