Somehow, the issue gets much stronger feedback in Deutschland. 🥔

Only fascists talk like that at their conferences. And then it doesn’t sound much better in other languages.

There are a hell of a lot of good examples of how terrible our language is, but that’s nonsense.

the entire content of that community is going to be copied to the feddit.de server

That’s not true. The text is being copied, the media is not. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can put tracking pixels on Lemmy posts at any time to log user data. Regardless of the instance used to read it.

We don’t need no “moderation”, we don’t need no thought control.

If you don’t want it, that’s absolutely fine - you just have to respect that others don’t share that opinion and cut the line since it’s hard to find a shared Fediverse of opposite ideas. Unmoderated instances have always been seperated in Fediverse-microblogging and I really don’t see why history shouldn’t repeat in this case.

The person can barely be identified. So unlikely this directly shames or affects him.

I’m worried about overweight kids receiving such jokes in their school-chatgroups, not the guy in person.

Now things out of a person’s control (skin color, height, physical abnormalities, etc) should be off the table unless the individual explicitly states otherwise.

There is a significant relationship between the political/economic system a person is in and the prevalence of obesity in a society. What system someone is born into is beyond the control of the individual.

Fatshaming is embarrassing.

I’m not on beehaw, I’ve never been - and I’m almost fine, where I am 😉 🍁

is that really a horrible idea as you say

This is not a question of fact, but of opinion. And yes: I’ve never been significantly active on Reddit, all the notifications I get there are spam porn accounts that follow me in.

To me, open signups seem wrong for a volunteer moderated service.

What they want is moderation. Unlike microblogging where you post to your followers, I think that running a public debate platform like Lemmy without controlling who enters is a horrible idea. That’s why they posted a statement with the clarification that this defederation need not be permanent.
