Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it’s pretty much exclusively a user from there.
I made a comment about this today on a thread made by a user from that instance and now I have rather graphic scat porn gifs in my inbox from their users. If you somehow don’t know what that means - I am now being sent explicit gifs of people defecating out of their anal orifice because I think their instance is filled with bad faith trolls. They’re really doing a lot to dissuade me of that notion.
So fuck you, here’s my petition to defederate.
Defederation isn’t the answer. Use the tools you have available as a user and block instances/users you don’t want to share content with.
This is the appropriate action.
This is The Way.
Whenever I see these threads pop up I always look for this comment. People need learn to block communities and users that you’re not keen on, not reach for the de-federation ban-hammer because you personally don’t want to see the content.
There’s an argument to be made about instances made 100% in bad faith, or where the content is overwhelming stacked, but for most of these situations people need to take care of this themselves
