Can we defederate hilariouschaos yet?

Submitted ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨P00ptart@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨support@lemmy.world⁩

On conservatives@hilariouschaos, they shared a Babylon bee meme saying marines were invading a 3rd world country meaning California I pointed out that Californias existence allows their racist red states to exist. Despite me being “upvoted” with citations that were asked for, and them being negative, my posts were deleted. I wasn’t aware that hilariouschaos was as bad as .ml or worse.

They’re also pushing all sorts of other right-wing disinformation.

  See, this is the first I’ve heard of all of this. Obviously I recognize them from the weird name, but I had no idea what they represent.

It’s not exactly a secret, but neither is that .world really wants to federate with everyone.

You can block the whole instance yourself, as well as individual communities.

But anytime you see one about “conservatism” it’s gonna be a troll community. Either trolling everyone else, or to troll the handful of conservatives that are on here

Don’t get hung up on idiots using the internet, just block them and move on

  I tend to agree but I’m sick of giving stupid people a voice. This is how they became prominent in the first place. Anti-vaxxers, Russian propagandists, this isn’t something we should allow. Blocking it doesn’t solve anything in the same way that appeasement doesn’t stop dictators. Let them have tiktok and Facebook. But not here.

    You’re not “giving them a voice”…
    
    You’re feeding the trolls
    
    Like, it’s fucking Lemmy, you’re not out there protecting millions of people from misinformation. You’re the reason they’re doing it in the first place
    
    Without people like you, they wouldn’t still be doing it.
    
    So I’m gonna take my own advice

Try messaging the admins about it. If you have things archived, that can help too. If they deem the issue is severe enough they might consider defederation. For now, you can block the instance.

They will get defederated eventually, that’s the beauty of the fediverse. It might take a while, though.

  Only if the admins actually decide to do so, so that’s what OP’s asking?

    As far as I’m aware hilariouschaos is already quite widely defederated. If they keep their right-wing idiocy up, more defederation will follow. OP directly along for it is fine.

Does the existence of an actual right wing instance mean Lemmy is mainstream now? Does this mean I have to go looking for something even more obscure?
