    You can’t hope they stay out. Admins and moderators have to take active steps to push them out. I want to give some kudos to lemmy.world for getting out in front of this, and I want to name and shame sh.itjust.works for having a vote in their agora community almost a week ago and then proceeding to do nothing

      Moderating is time consuming, tedious and done by volunteers. I’m not surprised that they get overrun after the latest influx of users.

        It’s why my primary instance of beehaw elected to just defederate and sort things out later instead of desperately trying to navigate a flood of scumbags. The key will be implementing better tools and getting more people on board for community curation

        Which is why the very first question an instance admin or moderator needs to think about and answer for all to hear is “how will you handle Nazis?”
