It's from the post where I asked if we could defed with exploding-heads.com. they were posting in the comments and at one point they were like "you don't want to do this, you're just gonna get your feelings hurt" which I assume meant the soyjack.

Weak shit fam, come back with some better material.

Yeah OP is a transphobic troll, disregard them. This is in reference to the post asking us to defed with exploding-heads.com. They posted all over that thread, and they mod The_Donald over on exploding-heads.com so 🤷

Maybe you are being honest but given your post history I am inclined to be skeptical. Frankly, as a lemmy.world user you shouldn't be posting shit like this on our instance. I literally saw you over on exploding-heads.com saying post op Trans women had "rot wounds". But I'm guessing you scrubbed your post history. User also mods The_Donald so take that how you will.

As a leftist you should be familiar with the paradox of tolerance and the dangers of giving a platform to hateful ideas.

Thank you for the voice of reason. I have seen so many "but I don't want an echo chamber" and "just block them bro". Like thats not the point of this. It's to deplatform them.

I mean we banned lemmygrad and bigotry is against our instance rules.

As far as I am concerned there is nothing to be lost by defederating with an instance whose most active communities are devoted to transphobia and covid conspiracy shit. It's not a matter of both sides having value they bring to the table. They are wrong, and we have nothing to gain from a federations with them.

If they don't want to be blocked their server admins need to clean it up. As is it sounds if they just don't care or endorse this sort of shit. Fuck em, nazis get out.

Agreed, defederation exists for a reason. Maybe if exploding heads admins get their shit together and clean up the instance they can get regenerated but as is nothing us to be gained from this federation.

Given that no bigotry is one of the stated rules of this instance and that bigotry is pretty rampant over on that instance I think it would be appropriate to disassociate with them.

I'm disappointed that we have to suffer because of a few bad apples but I can understand the situation. We'll all have to do our part to report and remove these trash brain bigots from out instance. I really enjoy the laid back atmosphere of this instance but it is acutely vulnerable to trolls as evidenced by that shithead.
