Weird racist posts from dank memes keeps showing up in my feed. Are we doing anything to prevent becoming Voat 2.0? We're really concerned about Threads and that's a big unknown. Weird racists already destroyed the last Reddit escape are we concerned about that? Like are we going to make a policy of defederating hate groups?

I'm pretty confident this community is using fake accounts since every post starts at ~20 and then gets down voted after it's been forced into a bunch of people's feed.

If not that's fine I guess but does anyone have a suggestion for somewhere that will?

Lemmy.ml also has a lemmygrad instance that is spamming propaganda and disinformation in all the news / politics subs. The !worldnews here is just about useless since it's 75% lemmygrad users and their alts spamming nonsense.

I've blocked two users who spam pro-China propaganda non stop in that /c/. Ugh

It's definitely a problem here. They spam to every news community, then brigade the votes. And, they use a bunch of alt accounts on different instances.

Yeah, this place is full of commie and commie sympathisers.

I have a "Ruin their day in any possible way" policy when dealing with nazis online, in person I have a "punch them in the mouth and see what happens" policy.

Voat was by and for the weird racists from the start.

Was it? I don't ask that to be a jackass. I remember being on there briefly before the racist and jailbait bans on Reddit and it didn't come across as terribly racist to me at the beginning. But it sure as hell got really racist, creepy, and fat-hatey really damn quick.

There's a possibility I just missed it. I'm pretty oblivious unless something is right in my face.

I think it was a good plan-b for about a week; but yeah, it went to absolute shite in such record time.
