The Lemmy Club is currently suffering from “The Nazi Bar” problem. All of their top communities are run by three right-wingers as illustrated below.

The Lemmy Club instance admin doesn’t seem to want to ban them, for the reasons mentioned below:

This vote is on whether or not we should defederate from this instance until they address their Nazi Bar problem.

Upvote = for defederation. Downvote = against defederation.

Edit: As others have mentioned, happy to treat this a only a temporary measure until the problem is resolved.

Edit 2: The Lemmy Club admin has said they will implement a rule against right wing communities, and has taken action on some problematic posts and users (see original comments below).

I’m willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to the admin here, as they have responded in good faith:

If you implement those changes then I’d be willing to withdraw the defederation proposal and consider the problem resolved.

    I had not taken action against these posts because they had not been reported and had not garnered enough interest or interaction to have been seen by me organically until now. That is not one of my users but they have been banned.

    After further consideration I’ve removed any explicitly conservative comms from my instance as I don’t feel I can effectively moderate them or leave them be.

      Thank you. We can overturn the vote, depending on what the other mods think. I hope it does, and i appreciate you listening.
