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.

Nazi instances will proliferate and it benefits nobody else to stay in federation with them. It makes the whole fediverse less usable and more dangerous. And whether you like it or not it sends a message to people who are targeted by them that they are not truly welcome here, regardless of whatever moderation rules are espoused.
And in North America, as in many places, these people are acting as a propaganda arm for a literal violent terror movement. Sometimes under a fig leaf of ”irony” but it makes no material difference whether they’re chuckling when they spew shit to me
Thank you for the voice of reason. I have seen so many “but I don’t want an echo chamber” and “just block them bro”. Like thats not the point of this. It’s to deplatform them.
You keep on trying to deplatform Christian soccer moms and everyone is gonna go back to reddit.
best sub
How many Christian Soccer Moms do you think used reddit in the first place? How many do you think are on Lemmy?
millions. Prove me wrong.
That’s impossible, because all Soccer Moms on reddit are vampires, and vampires can’t be Christian by definition.
Prove my logic wrong.
Please post sources and no racism is allowed here. I’m friends with your mom.
I’m also shagging this guys mom
I’m new to the fediverse and im kinda happy that its so easy to defederate from the more over the top instances. I’m in favor of closing the door on those psychos too.

I think the responsibility lies on the owners of each instance to manage trolls on their instance. If they moderate responsibly and shut down the Nazis and trolls, nobody will defederate them. If they don’t moderate effectively and their instance turns into a cesspool, they’ll get defederated by everybody except other trolls.
That’s the whole point of the fediverse. You run your instance, and based on what users on your instance do, other instances decide whether or not to federate with it. And if that results in multiple federated networks that don’t federate with one another, that’s fine too. You can’t keep fascists or tankies from downloading server software and setting up an online forum. But you can keep them out of yours.
Not a lot of folks are that vindictive and dedicated to the cause, to make that an issue, I don’t think.
Evidence?

Then sh.itjust.works should probably remove their instance-wide rules.
