Recently the site has become full of transphobic and conspiracy garbage, as well as a campaign for Ron DeSantis.
Their admin doesn’t seem to give two shits about any of this he’s just letting it happen without any intervention. Defederating them would benefit this community greatly.

if there isn’t an overlap in userbase then i don’t see a reason to defederate, and if we did defederate then i think there would be more of a risk of brigading or harassment than there already is now. might as well leave the beehive alone so nobody gets stung
thats not how the fediverse does things
how so? it seems like a handful of users are the issue on that instance, they’re clearly just looking for a place to spew hatred so when those users find out a instance largely made up of queer folk defederated with their instance don’t you think they’d be more likely to make an account on another instance and bring the hate here? i think unless the admin is supportive of that behavior it would make more sense to give them a chance to deal with that on their own before deciding to defederate

I can’t think why that would be the case. Bigots gonna bigot. I think they’re likely to harass queer people because we exist, and anything that makes that harder (e.g. defederating instances that protect them) is good actually.
“Don’t feed the trolls” never really worked, it just meant they continued to exist without opposition.

I disagree. Harmful, bigoted content is already being posted there. Defederating now protects this community from being exposed to it.
If the admin is responsive and deals with the issue, we can always federate with them at that point.
thats fair i definitely get your last point, think the rest is probably down to our personal experiences with trolls/bigots. appreciate you taking the time to reply
valid
thank you for the first civil and kind disagreement i have had on social media since
well
probably ever 💖
What a fucking cowardly response.
damn i get i was wrong but theres no need to throw around insults over it
So far as I could tell it was not an insult.
It was an accurate adjective.

I have seen some trolls from this instance on the transfem community.
WTF is this instance anyway 😀 Say no to Nazis then The Forth Reich and Say no to groomers.
I would 100% advocate to defedarate
Not again
No response from the admin. It’s been done
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — y’all are awesome, and thank you for all the work you’re doing with this instance!
I sent a DM to the admin yesterday. If they don’t respond or address the issue, we will be defederating.
Looked at that site and honestly nothing of value would be lost by defederating
Yeah my instance did this yesterday 100%
I used to think they weren’t that bad, that they just had some bad users coming there but I just checked back and yeah, they’ve really gone to shit. Definitely de-federate them, their admin either isn’t available to do what he needs to do or doesn’t care, we need to protect our communities and our people from the assholes on there.
Intolerance of the intolerant is the correct moral response.

Always. Tolerating intolerance only lets it spread even more.
