Politics are one thing, but there are servers that without-a-doubt bad. Some for example literally have "lolicon" in the URL. Not doing that also may or may not invite trouble, depending on your local laws.

You dont't have to deal a_troll_and_their_2_or_3_friends.lol, but there are lists of known-bad servers (#FediBlock brings up some results). Im talking about defederating those, that can almost universially be considered bad.

In theory I agree with this but in practice it's difficult to define what ones are "without -a-doubt bad." For some instances (like the ones you mention) it isn't difficult, but vague criteria like that makes it very difficult once we get up to the line where it's less obvious.

My point is, we should make sure that we have some sort of objective (as possible) criteria for defederating so we can establish good, long-term precedent for when not to. That said, part of that criteria could (and probably should) include doing harmful and illegal actions, which is why I agree with the spirit of this even though I don't agree with the letter of it.

Yes, i agree that the line gets blurry at a certian point. I worded it a bit badly, but i meant just those, that really can almost universially be considerd bad, like pedos. Once the line gets blurry, it gets complicated, i dont mean those. Those should be up to discussion. I wanted to edit my post, but the edit didn't commit.
