While a trans and queer friendly instance, they are an instance with lax moderation standards and has been known to spam the fediblock tag. They also federate with a number of problematic instances i.e. disqordia and shitposter club that regularly engage in anti-black behavior.

Here is an admin reposting a post from the top admin of shitpost.cloud, a racist fedi instance in which that admin uses hate websites like rdrama and kiwifarms:

The said worm pink admin who reposted that post had Marsey The Cat, rdrama's mascot, in their username and bio.

I would still recommend NOT defederating unless you have very strict rules. They tend to reclaim slurs like all minority groups and are a bit edgy and trollish at times, but they are a very trans and queer friendly space.

Formerly chapo.chat and r/chapotraphouse, they are a tankie instance that frequently brigades threads that mention them, and engage in harassment campaign against anyone who disagrees with them. They also frequently praise and defend Russia and China, two genocidal dictatorships in which one is engaging in an illegal war against ukraine and china has rampant human rights abuses. Since there are good faith users on that instance, they are more of a hesitation than a censure.

TERF instance loosely affiliated with Alex Gleason/Gleasonator, transphobic dev of Soapbox and his fedi instance.

If you want to #protecttranslives, you should IMMEDIATELY defederate from this instance.

 

Lemmy instance that is affiliated with r/PoliticalCompassMemes, a hate subreddit which according to AHS, has become Reddit'a premier brigade, harassment and hate subreddit, and alongside WatchRedditDie was among one of the main perpetrators behind the "AHS posts CP" libel. They also helped radicalize the Buffalo Mass Shooter.

Here is everything AHS has documented on PCM

Despite the affiliation, they are more of a hesitation than a censure for now because the admins tend to contribute and engage in good faith on Lemmy. However, they do have some problematic users and should be closely watched.

While not a bad instance itself, they do actively federate with the usual suspects and some pedophile instances. I'll assume in good faith that the admin isn't aware of some of these instances, but action should be taken before one of their members are mentally harmed by evil instances.

Dark fedi instance with minimal moderation, eules are "who cares?", and where one of their admins and many of their migrants are from the now-dead marsey.moe, a deeply antisemitic and racist instance loosely affiliated with rdrama.

Run by tyrannical and racist admins who make racial jokes against minorities and allow and even defend racist and transphobic bigots who run rampant on the site.
