The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

    The issue that comes with just blocking the community is that those people will not stay in their community and they’ll be able to go in other communities as well. It’s contagious in a way.

      If an instance’s users start creating conflict across the fediverse, sending out harassment, etc… it’s really not that different from an email server that sends spam having to be blocked. It is “social spam” so to speak.

      I hope SIJW admins realize that there’s nothing wrong in saying that they don’t want to host such a community. Even in the case it’s possible to have a “respectful Donald community” (which seems like an oxymoron), even then there’s nothing wrong in saying “yeah, we don’t get paid enough to deal with the complexities and hands on moderation it would require” and have them set up their own instance or whatever.
