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.

Given that no bigotry is one of the stated rules of this instance and that bigotry is pretty rampant over on that instance I think it would be appropriate to disassociate with them.

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?

[–] passport@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So only certain bigots count, got it.

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

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

Bigotry is a matter of personal taste. I found some posts from trans subs talking about cis white men killing people, but I didn't try to censor them because I'm an adult and possess the ability to ignore them.
