Recently it has come to my attention that the instance where my account is located rammy.site has been taken over by right wing bigots from the site exploding-heads they have created many hateful communities and have started posting transphobic content and climate denial. There's also quite a bit of community spam on here.

I very strongly advocate that the admins of this instance defederate from rammy.site as soon as humanly possible to stop the spread of their toxic shit to other instances.

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.
