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.

    To me, Exploding-heads are on the other side of the same coin that Beehaw exists on in regards to fringe exteme ideologies and sensitive emotionally fragile admins. Defederating them both is pretty fucking dumb because it will create echo chambers that will in result churn out more idiots. Just block them via your preferred instance.

      Maybe lemmygrad, but Beehaw is hardly radical because they did a temporary defederation because they didn’t have the manpower to deal with users breaking their community rules.

      fucking wild to hear Beehaw being of a “fringe extreme ideology” for…

      …deciding to defederate with really huge communities with lax registration requirements because they were overworked and didn’t have good enough mod tools (because the platform doesn’t) to deal with it?

      Even saying that they’d consider refederating once those issues were solved?

      In what world is this extreme, and in what world is this “the opposite of an instance that is amenable to right-wing people”? Like how could you even logically think that?
