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.

    nobody wants to hang with them in any way shape or form

    Then each person, individually, makes that choice.

    If you choose to not hang out with a person in a cult that’s fine. But you shouldn’t block them off from every other person, what about the people who are trying to deconvert them. What about the people who are keeping an eye on them to make sure they don’t do crazy things?

    Your desire to interact with them should only control your actions, you shouldn’t try to impose your desire to block a person or community on everyone who shares an instance with you.

        Sounds like you’re painting with a mighty broad brush. Which specific people and posts are you talking about? Because if you find a ‘literal human garbage’ poster you can click their name and click ‘Block User’.

        I don’t need you to curate my block list for me.
