Is lemmy.world federated with bad instances? (cw: nsfl) (lemmy.ml)

I saw talk of them being federated with instances like "exploding heads" (literal neo-nazis) and "posting lolis rocks", along with having interactions from users there. Is that true? idk how to check for that, I can only just barely stumble around the normal forum interface.

If so, why? They've been going hard on purging communists user-by-user and comment-by-comment, which seems like a little bit of a secondary concern to nazis and pedos, especially something as simple as just blocking the instances at the very least. What's going on over there?

What I mentioned, if it is correct, might not be exhaustive, I'm just repeating what I heard about.

Did you create an accounton exploding-heads.com and experienced nazism ?

It's interesting, because on the side bar it clearly states nazis are not allowed.

Did you take the initiative and read their rules to see what it is they allow and don't allow?

Did you proactively look for evidence of this, or are you just going on speculation?

You think Nazis care about what a sidebar says? Publicly denying their position is straight out of their playbook.

Publicly deny while dogwhistling like crazy. Hell, it’s hardly even dogwhistles.
