I didn't even know this "community" was even here, mostly because that's just one guy and a half talking to themselves.

1-2 angry contrarians is hardly a community but still,
I'm not a big fan of being associated with that.
Defederation as the one and only step is a bit nuts to me, as there are 6k+ other users here.
By that logic, anyone that ever had a reddit account also supported /r/thedonald back then, which is just not the case.
As for what to do with that troll, I couldn't care less if they get the boot, yet evading a ban on here isn't exactly hard.

    IDK I think the community should get shut from the instance for violation of the no bigotry rule, given the litany of things Trump has said, a place allowing for only "Only high energy pro-trump posts." will inevitably break that rule.

    For clarity I'm fully behind yeeting this junk from here.
    Nothing of value would be lost.
    Didn't mean to downplay what they're trying to be nor how we should react.
    I do think defederation is a bit much, or more accurately, it is worrisome that defederation would be the best tool for a remote instance to deal with that.
    All the more reason for us to deal with it.

    Nah, that's just giving in to bully tactics. If we're banning communities because other instances threaten to defederate, what exactly is the point of running a separate instance?

    We should ban users and communities because they break our rules, not because someone else on another community doesn't agree with how we decide to run this instance.

    I'm not saying to ban them because of outside pressure, I'm saying to ban then because there's absolutely no value in having them here.
    Like the only possible reason for that troll doing good thing was to stir shit.
    It's like some random guy taking a shit in your living room, maybe your family won't come over maybe they will, but it still smells like shit.

    I don't get your analogy. Someone starting a community doesn't impact me at all because I don't have to ever see it. Someone trolling in comments is annoying, so I just report and block them and don't see it anymore.

    So it's more like a channel existing on my TV that I absolutely hate, so I just don't ever watch that channel.

    I never saw that person's posts, and the only reason I even knew about it was this thread, and within a day it was gone. It's the definition of non-news. Things like this are annoying for a day or so, and then the community takes care of it and it's done.

    So it seems like this person achieved their goal of riling people up. Instead of making drama, just report, block, and move on.
