My only concern is extremists making use of it to organize, spread misinformation, coordinate attacks, etc. and there’s zero oversight. That’s a serious concern that needs addressing, but I have no idea how.
Ban those communities from your instance. There’s not going to ever be any way to prevent them starting their own, all you can do is defederate. There doesn’t need to be any more.
Yeah, same thing that happened when gab started a Mastodon instance, everyone immediately defederated from them for being Nazis and their reach stayed confined to only their own platform. Deplatforming is never completely stripping a platform from a person/group, it’s more of a quarantine. Keep them isolated from the wider community so they can’t recruit new members, and their groups wither

To be fair, it’s not like those were under control on Reddit either.
