Dear Admins of the Lemmy.world instance I am asking that you please consider defederating from the rammy.site instance as soon as possible as the admin is no where to be found and it has been taken over by right wing posters posting hateful messages. There are also other people posting large amounts of spam and creating empty communities. What was once a small hobby run general purpose instance has been turned over and made into a festering right wing hate filled breeding ground by the people from exploding-heads. The only recoarse left it seems is to defederate to prevent them from spreading hate to other instances.

PS. I already sent this message to multiple admins here, sorry about that I just felt it was urgent to make sure the message was sent before these people cause more damage.

    I get what you are saying but you have to understand where we are. Yes, hate can propagate online. Yes it’s important to fight that.

    I am a firm believer that isolating anyone in a bubble regardless of how good the intentions are is not a good thing.

    You fight ignorance with knowledge. You fight hate with love.

    If you’re in a room with a Nazi leaving the room does not make them stop being a Nazi nor does it prevent them from continuing their beliefs.

    That said, I completely understand the feeling of needing to defederate from instances like that.
