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.

It's always funny as, non American, to read about this naive anti- censorship slogans. Hateful political groups never stay in their places and play nice everywhere else. They brigade and harass every fucking time. There's a reason why every place without moderation turns into a absolute toxic cesspit.
Voat failed quickly because of the "no censorship" implemented which allowed garbage to congregate. Of course people left because it was nothing but shit.
Lemmy needs to take out this trash.
voat would have failed regardless. Their servers couldn't handle the load when the Exodus went there.
you
you get it
all of this "marketplace of ideas" bullshit predicates on the alt-right and fascists cooperating and playing fair, when they historically have always taken advantage of any chance they're given and then mocking those who wanted to give them a chance
like it's 2023, I'd hoped that we'd have realized why giving the alt-right and fascists a seat at the table never fucking works out for anyone other than the alt-right and fascists
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them." -Karl Popper
They do have a lot of moderation though. Did you even research it?
