I mean lemm.ee literally hosts a conservative community, which on occasion features borderline transphobia and homophobia. Right-wing stuff ya know. discuss.online has wide open sign-ups and has regularly had spammers, trolls, and assholes come and go. They are a liability. As far as I can tell Lemmy hasn't gotten substantially better moderation tools since those last two big defederations, so the issues with these servers and servers like them are still valid and apparent.

Probably, I crossposted there as well.
lemm.ee has !conservative@lemm.ee a community which is allowed to thrive by the main admin of this server. Along with all their users. Does this really seem like a good idea guys?
No one cares, people can just put images in comments, that's all custom emojis are anyways, just images in comments.
You just can't see any of that content from your server with no indication as to why, it's built like that to waste your time like Reddit's shadowban system. You can post in the communities of the defederated instance and it'll look fine and dandy but nothing will ever show up elsewhere.
If that's the case and there is a desire to have community reach maybe older defederations should be re-evaluated. But I wasn't under the impression that it mattered much compared to safety of minority users and security of the instance.
