r/The_Donald has been banned on Reddit, what's to stop those users turning Lemmy into what became of Voat? (lemmy.ml)

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?

That's exactly what it means.

Shitjustworks just voted to delist exploding heads from their instance. Beehaw is not federated with two of the largest (lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works) because they are worried about bots.

Gotta say, Lemmy is both way more active and way better curated so far then other Voat or any of the other Reddit clones

Because now regular people actually have a reason to leave.
