I’ve never heard of exploding heads or seen them before?

From what I vaguely remember there was a problem with a far right instance a year ago then everyone defederated with it and it died? Is that exploding heads?

thats them,
Even they are not online actually, they appears on the federated, and not blocked one, on lemmy.cafe,

For me, thats an issue, and a no go,

hmm. that doesnt sound great. I’ll tag the admin @Illecors@lemmy.cafe.

Pretty sure they wouldn’t allow that kind of content, but since cafe was a tiny instance (and still is rather small) back then, perhaps it was never even requested or a problem for them.

I wouldn’t assume they supported ExplodingHeads just because they didn’t block it. Just like I don’t assume mander.xyz is a radical uyghur genicide denialist because they federate with hexbear.

Yea, exploding heads made the rounds a couple of times, but after actually checking them out it became clear it's run by a teenager surrounded by other 10-15 teenagers. A few main instances blocked it and it died. The main teenager then started hilarious chaos as a whitelist-only instance, but because it did not attract anyone - federation was reenabled at some later point.

There's a difference between a couple of edgy teens and a big set of ideological morons who keep causing trouble.

Defederation is a nuclear option - at the time user-level blocking was not a thing; nowadays it's not a problem.

TL;DR - freedom of speech as much as possible, with limits when it becomes necessary.
