Coming from ShitJustWorks, I never ever have seen a thread from exploding-heads. They simply do not make it into the feed. And the only reason I saw any posts from TheDonald community while it still existed was because sorting by active was broken and would randomly throw in threads with no traction whatsoever. I can get behind keeping a space hate-free. But currently, there simply is no hate being shown even on instances still federated with exploding-heads.

This is a period of explosive growth and adjustment for Lemmy, it'll take awhile for things to settle down and for us to see what people's true colors are. Hopefully anywhere that actually harbors hateful or troll content will be marginalized and the mainstream instances will be properly moderated, but it'll be a continual battle since such people always want to find new ways to spread awfulness. If we're lucky, instances that have good track records will federate with each other. If not, people can vote with their feet.
