The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    Seems like something you should block individual users over rather than a whole instance

      If the instance lets bigots participate then the problem is with the instance itself.

        lemmy.ml has tankies on it among normal discussion, but it allows the genocide-denying tankies, therefore we should defederate from lemmy.ml too right? Very sound logic.

          Nice whataboutism you got there, care to come up with an actual argument instead of trying to deviate the discussion?

              Now you’re putting words in my mouth as well?

              You’re totally unable to stay on topic, aren’t you?
