Lemmy users are in an uproar because MAGA fascists spun up their own server.
First time seeing this? Mastodon and Pleroma already have dozens of these.
We know the playbook: blocks, defederation, and they end up marooned on their own little island.
And if your server doesn’t cut them off? That’s your cue to pack up and migrate.

They're also DMing anyone who downvoted their comment and threatening mod action:
"You’re receiving this message because I consider the word “bro” to be offensive, and I noticed you downvoted my request that a commenter avoid using it.
I want to politely ask that you not encourage language or behaviour that could bring toxicity into !fediversenews@piefed.social .
This is a friendly warning. If it happens again, I will have to issue a ban."

No, I will not be publicizing a Fascist server.

I sorta hate defederation (outside of legal reasons). I want as a user to control this but blocking instances does not really work which is annoying.

You can always spin up your own server and control every aspect of federation, which is what I’ve done with atomicpoet.org.

Bro.

Please address comments with "bruh" or at a minimum, "bruv". If you actually know the person, "brohan" may work in a pinch.
But, "bro"? Totally skirting the line on racist trash talk there, pal.

I had thought about this but like I have not even progressed with experimenting with an image based linux on my laptop. I doubt I will do it.

Just to clarify:
This post wasn’t written on Lemmy at all. The original came from Akkoma, then was cross-posted to Piefed.
So when I ask “First time seeing this?”, I’m not addressing Lemmy users specifically—it’s aimed at the Fediverse as a whole, where plenty of people still don’t realize far-right servers exist.

Hi everyone, I’m locking this thread on Piefed because it’s clearly being brigaded by people from outside the community.
To our regular members: thank you for your thoughtful participation. If you’d like to continue the discussion in good faith, please join me on the original thread or message me directly.
For those brigading: please understand, it doesn’t matter if you personally don’t consider a term offensive. If I’ve said that I find it offensive and I’ve politely asked you in private not to use it, then the respectful thing to do is to not use it.
