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.

    You’ve gotten downvoted, and you’ll probably get some more downvotes. But you you took the time to write a thoughtful post, and you made a good point.

    But ultimately I feel your point is wrong. Defederating from such an instance isn’t the equivalent of dehumanizing people you disagree with. Rather, it’s limiting the (potential) scope of harm people with bad intentions can cause.

    I get you’d like to see “both sides” or have a fuller picture, but there is enough evidence already that there really isn’t any possible “good” reason for their speech, and we should do what we can to limit its reach.
