Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it's pretty much exclusively a user from there.

I made a comment about this today on a thread made by a user from that instance and now I have rather graphic scat porn gifs in my inbox from their users. If you somehow don't know what that means - I am now being sent explicit gifs of people defecating out of their anal orifice because I think their instance is filled with bad faith trolls. They're really doing a lot to dissuade me of that notion.

So fuck you, here's my petition to defederate.

Yeah, the scat spammer guy sucks. I saw it before too but I reported and it was quickly gone.

But they could have signed up at any instance to do that and now that you're bringing attention to it I wouldn't be surprised if they do.

Have you been reporting the bigots or just assuming admins should already know about it?

From discussions on Matrix I'd say the admin seems to care, but it's not necessarily easy to monitor and detect these users without reports.

Report report report. The admins are all pretty busy just keeping the thing going.

I don't see reasons to defederate unless it really becomes out of hand, but that stuff can really originate from any instance.

Yes. This isn't big tech where tech daddy is sitting over your shoulder reading your messages to sell your info to advertisers.
