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.

The fuck did I just read.

I was also kinda surprised that sh.itjust.works doesn't block exploding-heads as most instances I'm aware of do. That coupled with the fact that the instance doesn't block them but blocks lemmygrad made me think at first sh.itjust.works was going to be some far-right instance, but from what I've seen it isn't. Though, I don't understand why sh.itjust.works would want to federate with them, considering their content often violates the rules of the instance.

I personally think defederating shouldn't happen generally. I'd rather there be customizable user filters for either words, subjects, etc.

Like I'm not really into their content (or that of some other instances) but defederating at an instance level is kind of a giant hammer for the few folks who may (for better or worse) be interested in both instances.

Their answer is full of demagogia ... Its scary how its good...

If they start raid, or to be meaningful we can ban the specific communities or users instead of unfederate.

I really want to be able to read them (curiosity, see the new words their using etc ).

For now we should use reports functions and see how its going ?
