The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

Listen cupcake, you wanted decentralized freedom. This is what it looks like. People you don't agree with exist. Grow a pair and block them yourself.

This is some top tier cringe right here.

tell me that you're a white middle class guy who's never faced marginization without teling me that you're a white middle class guy who's never faced marginalization

Well it doesn't have to look like that, people can openly discuss what they want to do as a community, deal with it snowflake.

Okay, as someone who actually has an account on sh.it. I'd like to let exploding heads stay, but keep an eye on them.

You have a group of people who want a filter bubble and a group of people who want a community.

Who do you exclude from a filter bubble? : Anybody you disagree with.

Who do you exclude from a community? : People who commit violence or abuse.

It is healthy for you to be exposed to ideas you disagree with. It keeps you from becoming a person who is never challenged and does real harm when they think they're doing the right thing.

The standard should basically be: "If this person said what they said in public, would be put them in jail?" that's what gets them banned and instances full of those people get those instances defederated.

If you don't want to hear opinions you disagree with then use the block button. Build you filter bubble how you'd like, but you don't get to control everyone else's view of opinions.

Listen Millefuille, you wanted decentralized freedom. Choosing to not associate with hateful ideas is what it looks like. People you don't agree with exist. Go find another instance.
