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.

I haven't seen anything from that instance, and I am not going to go there and see for myself because I don't seek out sources of outrage. Defederation seems like a drastic first step.

It's not drastic considering the circumstances, the instance is unmoderated their admin isn't available, that's as good a reason as any to defederate them. The instance also doesn't have a blocklist, it doesn't block any instances it's also on outdated software and being unmoderated that is a recipe for disaster.
