Ah, defederation. Simultaneously the "nuclear option" and also "it won't actually do anything"
It is funny that the tankies over on lemmygrad got defederated in a heartbeat, Meta would get instantly defederated for being Corporate, but there is "valuable discussion" on EH. I mean seriously, I want a mod response on why one is verboten but the righty whiteys are a-okay. If you are gonna be a home for alt right trash then don't lie about it!
It's unfortunate. I got yelled at for saying fascists and Nazis should be deplatformed. Someone literally tried to "whatabout if we did that to LGBT people" me. I'm trying different instances in good faith, but the ones that hold that kind of logic aren't going to last long.
Maybe look at figuring out how to host your own instance? I've got mine running on a 2 thread, 1gb ram server that'll cost me less than 10 usd a month. So far it actually seems to run rather smoothly.
Then you get to choose who you federate with.
Cool idea! Might look into that.
