Nothing. However, some large instances could belikely to defederate whatever instance they sign up on and it could become a liability. You could also choose to defederate or block them yourself I think.
There are way more of us than there are of them. Let them scream impotently into the void and hear nothing come back.
Sure, maybe they will rally some numbers and try ti make noise, but ultimately they will just get bored and move on as things aren't as monolithic here in the fediverse as they are on Reddit/Facebook/Twitter/etc.
Meaning different communities can set up their own Lemmy servers and they don’t necessarily have to be part of the same federated network, in case there are unresolvable conflicts.
I’m genuinely curious, looking to move from Reddit due to heavy-handed mod abuse and the extreme leftist bias of virtually all the big subreddits. Is Lemmy going to be a place where free speech is honored, or will conservatives always get the boot like on Reddit? I’m not talking about hate speech or calls for violence, I’m just as against that as the next person. But I’d like to know I’m not going to get banned because my opinion differed from that of a mod.
Strong moderation abilities, and instance admins like ourselves who actually ban white supremacist communities and not sit on their hands about hosting the largest one on the internet, for years.
edit: like just today, we had a few TERF communities try to set up here. It took us less than a day to ban them. Its not difficult.
That’s good to hear, I’ve got very little idea of how the fediverse works nor how moderation works on these types of sites so thanks for clarifying. I had a look to see if c/the_donald existed and although it seems to, I could see the following:
Make America Great Again removed by mod
No Posts.
Does that mean the community has been removed by a mod then or something else?
