This has happened in R's past: see Voat (I wont link it here). I hope we can keep this an open and engaging community without all that hatred.
Mm, I wanted Voat to work out when it first cropped up in Reddit comments, but the exodus of Donaldites meant abandoning that account.
Let's hope a moderated and federated version means any communities of that persuasion can hive themselves off.
The best part about that is they can start their own instance, and your instances admins can block their instance so you'll never have to see it(as beehaw does with lemmygrad). Or if you want to see it, and your instance has them blocked, you can join another instance that doesn't block them or their actual instance.
I think it will work out great if we get a critical mass of content contributors.
