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?

    Voat was a real-world lesson on the paradox of tolerance, and how hate speech rots communities. Instances that federate with hate mobs encourage their behaviour and give them the audiences they crave. While my account is not hosted on this instance I nonetheless implore the admins of lemm.ee not to let hatemongers prey on their users.
