CW: Transphobia, Homophobia, Racism

"Original Post:
Today, we want to inform everyone that we have decided to defederate from https://exploding-heads.com/. We understand that defederating should always be a last resort, and individuals can certainly block communities. However, blocking alone does not prevent potential harm to vulnerable communities.

After carefully reviewing the instance, reported posts, and multiple comments from the community, we have concluded that exploding-heads is not adhering to the Lemmy or Citizen Code of Conduct. Therefore, we cannot, in good faith, continue to federate with an instance that consistently promotes hate, racism, and bullying.

Examples:
https://lemmy.world/post/577526 - Community Moderator Harassment
https://exploding-heads.com/post/92194 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/90780 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/91488 - Systemadmin Post
https://exploding-heads.com/post/93725 - Community Moderator Post

Again, deciding to defederate from an instance is not taken lightly. In the future, we will continue to review instances on a case-by-case bases.

As for our community, please refrain from posting or commenting with hateful words as well. Arguing back and calling people names is not the solution. The best course of action is to report the posts or comments violating our server rules.

Based on how federation will work the news thread will show up on the front page of /all so having some sort of disclaimer included makes sense to me

Literally banning all the alts as well

XiaoHei is one of the most confusing accounts I have ever seen, a patsoc maoist is my guess but ideology lol

i think that the lemmy devs chose it because it was free + that reading of it lol many people think that is what it means.

new leroy album is the perfect start to a queer weekend of fun

There is a very good chance it may since it uses .ml

Sorry for not making it more clear I cross-posted this, I am not the person responsible for the project
