Recommendation to defederate from exploding-heads (lemmy.one)

That entire instance is infested with a massive amount of right-wing hate, transphobia, homophobia, and ugly political vitriol under the guise of "allowing free speech", rising to the same level or worse than lemmygrad (which we have already defederated from for obvious reasons). Please get this garbage off of the "all" page given that the entire instance actively breaks the rules of lemmy.one and is only providing them with a larger platform. I think a few trolls may have already spilled over.

just take a 20 second scroll through this mess or any of the other communities there: https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected]

Exactly this. People have the tools and abilities to block these communities and domains if they don't want to see that content. Pulling out the de-federation ban-hammer whenever you personally aren't keen on the content isn't a reasonable solution.

It's all about control to them dude.

yeah how dare I want to tell homophobes to shut the hell up. It's so controlling and authoritarian, oh no.

edit: and what exactly are we "controlling" anyway? All this would do is support the ruleset that exists on lemmy.one. If you want to go take part in that hate, go sign up with exploding-heads; it will continue to exist, we just will not be providing a larger platform for them.
