      The news and politics communities on there are dominated by a user named Donald Musk. Looks a whole lot like UniversalMonk-posting, but could also be a tribute act. Doesn’t really matter, I can understand why we are defederated.

      Elsewhere in this thread it is said that hilariouschaos is apparently what was once explodingheads, if you were familiar with that instance.

        Donald J. Musk is an absolute shithead, the only “conservative” who hasn’t abandoned the platform.

        What you’re saying about exploding heads; I’ve heard of them before, but I don’t know what happened there, could you enlighten me?.

          ExplodingHeads was the original extreme right wing instance on Lemmy. They packed up and moved to Nostr after pretty much the entire Fediverse defederated from them. Apparently they are back now and their instance this time is HilariousChaos.

          This is per their own admission, seemingly: https://hilariouschaos.com/comment/9332

              Seems to me like the EH guys did originally go over to HC, so that comment was probably true at the time of writing. No doubt around then is when HC got widely defederated. At this point it may well be that the worst of them have been banned and/or left. Unfortunately the damage already seems to be done in terms of defederation.

              I still think a pronounced ambition to be a “free speech” instance with laissez-faire moderation easily can lend itself to problems again down the line, hence the whole nazi bar parable. Or, well, 4chan. So I still am wary. Letting Donald Musk and UniversalMonk run rampant doesn’t help.

                Bruh, I post to 2 communites there. That’s not really running “rampant” lol

                I post to plenty more communities on other instances.

                I don’t know about Universal Monk though, I don’t see him there very much. So I think running “rampant” is a bit of a stretch for UM too. lol

                    What spam? I post articles to the approriate communties, which is what Lemmy needs to grow. Lemmy needs content. I give Lemmy content.

                    What “spam” are you seeing?

                    Also, you can just block me, the user. Then you won’t see anything I post, regardless of where it goes.

                    Not sure why more people don’t take advantage of that function.

          I may be a shithead, but I’m not the only conservative on Lemmy. And more are coming.

          Lemmy isn’t a liberals-only platform. It’s open to all.

          And no worries, I won’t ever abandon Lemmy. So all good. :)

        So? People could just block the two communities post to. Not that difficult. lol
