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.

Well if the instance defederates then you, as an adult, are free to move instances.

I settled down here, exactly because it only has one blocked instance. The vibes I got when I created my account were “chill place that lets adults curate content themselves”. We’re free-signup and create our own communities, I doubt the admins here will just go ahead and defederate other instances left and right. I wonder, though, why aren’t you on Beehaw? They seem closer to what you’re looking for.

The difference is this: I like it here, you don’t. So why would I move elsewhere?

His suggestion is not a bad one. You’re clearly after a more heavily moderated experience, that’s what Beehaw provides.

Your reply is basically ‘if you disagree with me you’re a racist’, that’s not a way to have a conversation of mutual respect. You’re not earning any points by attacking people who disagree with you.

Or you can not be an authoritarian fascist and let your users decide for when selves what they want to see. Defederating is a bitch move.
