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.

Like I'd hope that we wouldn't follow in Reddit's footsteps of tolerating alt-right bigotry

Defederating isn't like being fucking censored or whatever; it's people deciding that they don't want to be around you

Basically near-every instance did this for Lemmygrad with zero complaint, so it's fucking weird that there are so many people complaining now when it comes to an instance teeming with alt-right bigotry
