And it only has four posts lol!
I'm so proud.
I blocked it the moment I saw it.

26 0 ReplyLikewise.
6 0 ReplyI thought about that but having never looked too much into that subreddit, was curious to see what kind of garbage they spew before blocking

I'm kind of disappointed I can't downvote now, but oh well. Looks like others are doing the lords work haha
Still a badge of honor. Kind of like getting banned from r/conservative lol
57 0 ReplyYou're totally getting banned from c/conservative as soon as they figure out how to use Lemmy.
61 0 ReplyI picture Hank Hill trying to play PlayStation with Bobby before giving up.
9 0 ReplyI can't wait to get banned for asking a legitimate question

I just plainly asked "is this ironic?" and my comment was removed. No response.
Can you not even handle that?
50 0 ReplyLooks like some salty snowflake came through and downvoted every comment here, I've never seen so many lol. What a baby
41 0 ReplyThe funny thing is it's easy to tell when that happens here, as it shows the individual numbers
Honestly I expect that to make it so that happens less

Trump nuts are the real snowflakes. They get upset at you without even a word needing to be said.

So you were canceled? Hypocrites.
22 0 ReplyIs there a list anywhere of these shit instances we can block?
18 0 ReplyMaybe it’s a bad community but not a whole bad instance?
19 0 ReplyIt's hosted on our instance, so correct.
11 0 Replyah ok, well question still stands if anyone knows of a list of instances to block like that.

Exploding-heads.com is full of awful communities.
15 0 ReplyThe call is coming from inside the house on this one

I've noticed that instances christian, maga, conservative, and theDonald all have low counts comparatively to most instances. The highest I saw the other day was 120 or so but most were like 40-80
15 0 ReplyThat's probably because of a mixture of things:
- younger people are more likely to try out new SM
- younger people are more likely to be liberal
- many people here are fleeing from other SM that skews liberal (mostly Reddit)
- the founders were largely socialist, so liberals probably felt more at home in the early days
At least that's my take.
That said, I want nothing to do with maga-style communities.
33 0 ReplyI'll add that younger people are more likely to be targets of conservative animosity / demonized, not necessarily more liberal.
9 0 ReplyYou forgot that Russian troll fans haven’t yet infiltrated Lemmy, but if the bot Registration reports are real, they’re on their way.
9 0 Reply
Sad to hear they found Lemmy.
14 0 ReplyI've only found the one that's a bunch of liberals cybersquatting the name of the former trump reddit sub.
13 0 ReplyOh please turn it into a satire community.
14 0 Reply... and watch it become not-satire and then fully serious
It's gonna need some careful moderation to keep it fully satire methinks
25 0 ReplyDid you know that's how r/thedonald actually started? It was meant to be satire but it attracted those who were serious and look at what happebed.
17 0 ReplyOnly post pics of Donald Glover, Donald Duck, etc...

What instance is it on? Would like to shitpost a little :p
7 0 Replywho me? (:

I just shitposted into one and got countered surprisingly witty. Yeah. A lot of those are Satire communities, at least atm.

Pretty sure r/TheDonald started as a satire community and it evolved into one of the largest white nationalist movements the world has ever seen.
14 0 ReplyLike the nazis on 4Chan 10-15 years ago. They were debate threads for the sake of arguing. Same with the flat earthers there. It was for the argument, not the points made.
Then people didnt get it and it became real.
8 0 ReplyNot sure I'd conflate r/The_Donald with the Republican Party's turn into overt fascism, as a whole. But yeah, there's something to be said for the dangers of ironic bigotry.
4 0 ReplyYeah there's a term for that but I forget it.
Not post-irony but it's close. meh.

Instance admins should really nip that in the bud, IMO
8 0 ReplyI don't get why people always want to ban things. At least you can see everything in the open now.
10 0 ReplyCommunities with a habit of calling for violence against specific communities should be banned

Happy to say I haven't come across them yet
7 0 ReplyI got banned in one comment. Took me 3 to get the boot on Walkaway, lol
7 0 ReplyAt this point of time, isn't it time to see how many subs we can get banned from before the whole thing goes down the shithole?
6 0 ReplyDamn they’re already banning folks lol.

Are we sure that community isn't satire? I feel like maybe it is.
3 0 ReplyDidn't /r/Donald start out as satire?
16 0 Replyr/The_Donald definitely started as satire. But as with all communities that only allow satire, they kept going until people couldn't tell who was serious anymore and it eventually became entirely serious. Same with r/GamersRiseUp.

Can we not do this? It was bad enough on reddit. Just block them and don't spread their abusive existence.
2 0 ReplyLooks like it won't spread now 😉
