Unfortunately if people are going to allow hate groups to invade there instance defederate is the only way to deal with it
Fwiw it's cool that there is even a way to deal with it as individual communities unlike Reddit which would have to have site admin intervention
And that intervention would probably take a while to happen, tbh. I still think defederation should be the absolute last resort, but I've read mod tools are still not on the level to adequately deal with this sort of stuff.
Historically the admins would just look the other way until Reddit started getting negative press over it. If not for the negative attention those subs brought to the site Spez would probably still be hosting jailbait, altright, and incels.
A site admin did intervene. What do you mean?
This just further illustrates the importance of active and competent moderation.
