Brian Molko criticised Giorgia Meloni during a concert at the Sonic Park festival

Meloni heads Italy’s most rightwing government since the second world war. Italy’s criminal code punishes with a fine ranging from €1,000 to €5,000 anyone who “publicly defames the republic”, which includes the government, parliament, the courts and the army.

    One of the main ‘issues’ with decentralised social media is that it allows the fringes of the political spectrum to have a platform. We’ll have to find a way to get along.

          It’s part of a process.

          • Step 1. Nazi says nazi things.
          • Step 2. Non nazi reports to instance admin.
          • Step 3. If the nazi is local, the instance admin can choose to ban. If not, the instance admin can choose to ban the user from their own instance and then escalate to the nazi’s instance admin.
          • Step 4. If the nazi’s instance admin takes action, the nazi needs to find a new home, end of story. If not, that means that the nazi’s instance admin is chill with nazi shit.
          • Step 5. The local instance admin can then chose to defederate from an instance that is chill with nazi shit.

          To me this looks like a pretty robust process. What other steps would you add?

            Main thing I can think of is an option for non-admin users to block an instance on the client side. Like blocking a community or user except it does both, for everybody from that instance.

              That’s already possible in Mastodon, so if Lemmy doesn’t do it already, it should be easy to ask and get implemented.
