    Fuck them. Lemmy is Canadian.

    MAGA, the people who want to make Canada their 51st state, can fuck right off.

    However, I do find it funny these “American patriots” feel they need to use Canadian servers to exercise their free speech. Their Orange god is completely against free speech. They should embrace that instead.

    Edit: Sorry. I misunderstood how this maga place this was hosted when I made the comment. I thought it was on lemmy.ca but I see now how it’s hosted and shared.

        You’re correct.

        The A record for the domain name maga.place resolves to 216.144.226.200, which is under the 216.144.226.0/24 prefix of AS36352 (HostPapa). The prefix being used is registered to madgenius.com, which is a hosting provider registered in the United States. Curiously, that provider even has their own ASN (AS55154) that’s not being used here.

        It’s also a shared IP address. The address itself resolves to suportefiscal.aptosclinica.com.br. when you perform a reverse lookup.

        As for the domain name itself, a quick whois lookup points to Namecheap. The MX records corroborate this, pointing to registrar-servers.com.

        In any case, the server itself is hosted in Virginia. The hosting provider used is an American company either owned by or reselling services from a Canadian company.

        This is a 1-day-old account and they also said “Lemmy is Canadian”, so I’m presuming that they think that defederation means to remove this like it were a community.

        Although even so they aren’t wrong: federation with Lemmy.ca means to help spread their messages using Canadian servers:-).

      No, actually they have their own server which is maga.place.

      In the Fediverse, independent servers automatically synchronize with each other to publish their content. However, it is possible to cut the link with another server to avoid its publications from showing up on our own server.

    Yes, this shouldn’t even be a discussion. There’s no room at the table for fascists.

    I think everyone should. that’s the whole point of having a decentralized federation system: different people on different instances can decide what’s to Nazi for them to tolerate. Not like Xitter where one dude decides what’s the acceptable level of Nazi everyone should see every day.

    Should Lemmy.ca defederate from a Nazi instance? Yes. Let’s not have their fascist propaganda leak into our instances.

    Duh. Remember that time where a MAGA person listened to facts and logic, not emotion? Yeah, me neither…

    I don’t think there’s any value associating with racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, or traitors.

    So, yes.

    I vote yes.

    We don’t need to federate with a safe space for spreaders of hate and conspiracy theories.

    At worst, that instance will become another Grad with trolls that piss everyone off. At best, it’ll be a cluster of people and content I’m just going to block anyway.
