Right-wing losers = forum cancer.
I took a look and it's like 3 people yelling into the void over there. Hardly worth all these defederation posts I see. Just block and move on, no?
IMO if the admins have obviously abandoned an instance it's worth de-federating regardless of activity level or political lean. It's a ticking time bomb for malicious links, spam, political trolling, and other bullshit.
I just looked at the instance list and they're literally federated with burggit.moe so yeah I would definately describe this instance as a timebomb very much worth defederating, there actually aren't any instances blocked on here on rammy which seems nice until you realize just how many known awful ones there are that are connected and accessible to rammy.
This shouldn't even be something being debated, the instance is abandoned, people are posting hateful content, and it's federated to the worst of the worst instances on the fediverse.
Ya, I can understand that argument at least. The OP gave me "people are saying mean things over there and I don't like it" vibes which just feels cringe.
Things that amount to "trans people shouldn't exist" or "trans people shouldn't get medical care" are more than just "mean".
Eh, I see a lot of hostility and threats that are allowed so long as they are against the correct groups. Less hostility all around would be nice; thicker skin helps bridge that gap.
