We did vote for using an automated tool, even, to protect against such instances: https://sh.itjust.works/post/338826
Aye.
Edit: Oh wait, the community is deleted. Well, disregard my vote. It should stay gone.
Aye.
That stuff is illegal in many countries.
Aye.
I agree with others in the thread that we should be open to communicating with admins for false positives though.
I agree that order shouldn't matter, but I strongly believe it would matter given the fact that everyone knows that upvoted posts appear at the top by default. The proposal doesn't address downvoting, but it will happen anyway and affect the outcome because of the ordering issue. Discussions will happen inside the voting thread even if it shouldn't happen, as well.
As much as I very much dislike the current political climate, and even though I'm aware that there is actual violence going on against those that don't deserve it, I must say I disagree with your claim. Not every racist or sexist or homophobe is guilty of violence. We are a tribal species, but not every disagreement has to mean war. Additionally, I don't think defederating communities at the first signs of any of these will achieve what you want.
To explain my vote, which remains the same after gaining clarification.
While I don't think we should be too quick to defederate instances, I believe Lemmygrad is an important and symbolic one. Many folks including myself have concerns about even using Lemmy due to the political viewpoints involved in its creation. Defederating that particular instance says something, to those who join and to those who are a part of the community.
yes
