Streisand effect for sure. There seems to be run of these types of posts in the fediverse lately. People don’t seem to realize that sometimes they’re better off letting these situations take their natural course (and die), and not intervene unless it grows beyond manageability.
Respectfully, I disagree. If you are running a bar and a nazi comes in with all their nazi periphranalia and orders a drink and behaves. You still kick them out. Because if you don't the next time they will bring all their nazi friends and it will be much harder to kick them out and then your other patrons stop showing up because of all the nazis around and now you are running a nazi bar.
Ban hate trolls. Ban them immediately. Because if that content festers on the site it will be much harder to ban later.
So here's my issue here.
This guy is clearly not a small issue. He's being as loud and obnoxious as possible.
If there's nothing in place to deal with one huge troublemaker, what's to stop a dozen who come to Kbin and start making hateful communities?
My concern at this point is that Kbin itself gets defederated because the other instances don't think it's taking moderation seriously.
clowns always trying to censor somebody... hunting for some low level degenerate to turn him into "antihero"
these people can't seem to just enjoy a place with out starting a witch hunt
Nah, we're nipping this shit in the bud because the shitposting is only the Trojan horse.
This shit's already here. Now we gotta shine a light on it and deal with it.
Now I can confirm, the block button works :D
Ha, I blocked the worst offender in the comments here, refreshed the page and now there are like... 6.
Ive decided not to block him so I can follow him around annoying him and downvoting everything he says

Perfect example of why voting should be public!
Blocking him is the right answer, it's the right thing to do and solves the problem of him presenting posts you don't want to see.
Yeah I was worried this could become a problem, because I imagine a lot of chuds are turned off of lemmy because of the tankie devs. Which makes sense. But I don't think they should be welcome here, either. I'm trying to get away from that authoritarian shit, not get closer to the even worse kind of authoritarian shit.
Yeah, I really hope that shit gets nipped in the bud.
If there's more people here like 10A it would be great if you could speak up so I could keep building my block list
Those “antiwoke” people disgust me. I encourage disagreements. I don’t encourage thinly veiled hate disguised with code words. Tolerance isn’t “far left”.
The entire point about federation is that these issues largely solve themselves.
Don't like the community...block it.
Instance is going to shit...defederate it.
The people on the anti-woke community can continue screaming into their echo chamber and no one who doesn't want to has to listen to it without resorting to censorship and banning. Let assholes be assholes in their own instance and the rest of us can just close our sound-proof windows and not have to listen to them.
