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.

Isn't it just better to do it on your own accord?
If you do not wish they mingle with you, block the community you do dislike. You can even block individual person.
If you do not want to participate in theirs, just don't visit them.
Defederating is extreme, it takes liberties and freedom from other users, and should only be used as last resort.
EDIT: @eta_aquarid, why you are discussing this instances meta, you are from kbin.social? And then why you blocking me? Is there some sort of brigade going on here?
EDIT2: So many other unrelated instances' user come in here. Wow. There are some coordinated attacks to make sh.itjust.works worse huh?
KBIN.SOCIAL PEOPLE: This https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/39264/Hey-could-we-defederate-with-exploding-heads-com#comments means it is HOSTED on sh.itjust.works instance! It is NOT kbin.social post! Even if you can see from your instance!
@[email protected] Many common people only joined lemmy for joining niche communities, and agreeing with admin rules.
New users here won't know beehaw stuff. Defederating robbed their communication.
We are all adults, we can block them. I do not participate in exploding-heads, I do not support many of their discussion. But when defederstion stuff comes up, I always think some new, niche users from there who do not know fediverse stuff, want to visit here. They will be the biggest victim.
Like I said, just block them yourself. Block individual that say nasty stuff. Defederation just hurt common users.
Also you are also from kbin? Why are you here discussing this instance direction?
