MODERATORS
I get the inclination to want admins to ban them... but not only is that unnecessary (at this point in time!) it's also a far, far weaker rebuke than the entire community refusing to let them trend.
We saw how on reddit, banning subs simply resulted in them making new ones.
At least on lemmy there is visible evidence that no matter what they call their community it will be rejected by the lemmy community as a whole.
At least here's hoping!
Agreed. I have faith that a level headed discussion is usually enough to overcome most hatred
