“We’re just tired of these THOUGHT POLICE and want to make a place where we can finally just hang out and be comfortable without the fun police hanging over our shoulders censoring every word we’re free speech warriors come join us we’re better”
Turned out to mean:
“I want to be an asshole, you have no rights whatsoever, that’s a given and fuck you, and if anyone EVER infringes on any of my rights real or imagined in any way no matter how trivial, I will throw a hissy fit of thermonuclear proportions”
(I’m just assuming that this PTB is indicative of hilariouschaos / exploding-heads in general, I don’t have a very strong read on what they’re about. But I think it is a safe working theory.)
The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.
Yeah, no, they do. That’s kind of the point of administration. By allowing actions to take place on the instance, those actions can become representative of the instance. The fact that you’re an inattentive or uncaring administrator doesn’t absolve you of the actions taken under your watch.
Bullshit like this happening to me, for one. I also wouldn’t want a community on lemmy.world or slrpnk for the same reason: Because then, not only would I be associating myself with their brand, but I would also be subject to having weird stuff happen to my community because of decisions by admins I don’t trust.
The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.
I mean that’s fair, but also, this is the #2 community there. The #1 community is an AI news summary place made by a person I find notably weird and disagreeable.
You are welcome to start your own community on HC and moderate it as you see fit.
Yeah, I’ll get right on that. It sounds delightful.
As so often happens:

HC is not exploding heads. The actions of a community do not represent the instance itself.

But then they’d have to have a community there? Idk why anyone would want to have one there
What’s wrong with having a community there? What are you afraid of?
Being associated with it. Or anything possiblely associated with crypto or nazis
By the same logic you would have to start a perpetual witch hunt on all instances - after all, they could be anywhere.
HC (the instance) does not support any side of the political debate. I guess that’s intolerable.
it’s too political to be against nazis isn’t great argument for getting people there
We do not tolerate content that a nazi would post (e.g. calls for violence, discrimination based on race, etc).
What do you understand by “nazi”?
Yep, that’s a rightwing instance alright.
A conservative community =/= the nazis. Also most of the accounts posting there are not even HC users.
Can you show me an example of nazi content on HC?
Oh, let’s add strawmanning to that list

I’m on the record here that you would be free to moderate as you wish, so long as instance rules are adhered to - just like everyone else.
Yes it is.

Bro why u hating on my bot? What did it do?
I find you notably weird and disagreeable.
I like your bot, man. Ignore him. I don’t even like most bots, but yours does great.
Not only that, but his instance has bots too, so he’s a hypocrite.
