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.
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.
