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.

    I’m as leftist as they come and I do not support this action. If you don’t want to see it, mute the instance rather than creating an echo chamber.

      you’re leftist but aren’t considering the paradox of tolerance?

      like, why? What is the reason you’re not supporting defederation?

          Community blocking was a recent addition, instance blocking for users is coming. I don’t think the massive growth of instances could be expected so I understand the prioritisation.

        I’m not actually sure, honestly. Maybe mute the users instead if the instance isn’t possible to mute.
