One reason why lemm.ee might not be the best newbie instance, most others have lemmygrad and hexbear defederated (read: blocked). You can block them yourself in your profile settings, or you can move to a different instance.
Indeed and what I also love about federation is it is also within your rights to not give people a platform or be forced to listen to them. If people don’t like what they have to say then they will still be able to shout but only into the void and echo chambers.
Lemmy.ca is a nice instance if you are looking for one that blocks those instances. The fascists were here before people from reddit started moving over, but as people started coming over that aspect started getting diluted. Now you just have to choose an instance that doesn’t federate with them.

That depends on who your instance is federated with. Personally I have never seen any posts from them.
I think you can easily block their instances, but sure it’s not the best starting point for new users.
Real fascists? My dear god you’re in a post that straight up wants a “make europe great again” and its us that are opposed “the real fascists”?
Europe has unconditionally supported the ethnical cleansing of Palestinians and parrots Herzlian talking points but we are the anti-semites?
It’s everyone right to have an opinion, regardless of what their political affiliation is, as long as it doesn’t devolve into extremism.
