Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, ‘jews did 911’, ‘killnirs’, ‘hitler was right’, and 'Fuck Nirs’. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs.

Hey Laguna Chat, get your shit together.

Edit: markdown defeated me again. I think you can figure out what those words are.

    Looks like an instance someone spun up and never looked at again.

    It clearly has no one policing content, or I’d hope someone would have flagged the shit porn on their support communities.

    Just because anyone can start an instance doesn’t mean everyone should.

      It feels like s legal liability to start a instance and not police it. People could upload CP and you would be on the hook because you are the server owner and clearly did nothing to stop it.

        It’s worse because now other servers federating with you are on hook legally as well.

        The law doesn’t make allowances for federated servers. Essential it’s your sever getting the CP in the eyes of the law.

          That can’t be accurate otherwise it’d be incredibly easy to have maliciously taken down “the Fediverse” long ago. There might not be a direct Fedi distinction in the law and it might be too complex for the average district attorney to understand on the surface but that doesn’t equate to “everyone is breaking the law” if something illegal shows up on a feed.

      I don’t generally block anyone on social media. I don’t want to block racists and then not be able to report their racism.

    Saw the bad content get deleted as I was checking it out. The instance looks clean now. Funnily enough, the top post is asking about sudden nsfw content, and one of the comments a gif of someone literally shitting.

    Are you sure it was https://laguna.chat ? I just glanced through the thread that is top of their homepage (Trump’s latest indictment by a grand jury) and the comments were all against Trump. Other posts seem like normal Lemmy stuff, no insane right wingers yelling about space Jews that I could find

      The communities OP was talking about are there, but they don’t seem to have any posts/comments and only have 1-3 subscribers.

      Still, you’d think if an admin actually had their hand on the wheel there, they’d take care of those.

      Also, I like your username.
