It was a super bigoted alt-right subreddit that eventually got banned

Someone recreated it on sh.itjust.works and started posting garbage

The greater fediverse caught wind of it and called for sh.itjust.works to be defederated.

The sh.itjust.works admins got rid of TD (and the user, I believe)

I'm not sure, but I believe at least a couple of instances defederated sh.itjust.works for a bit before letting it back in once action was taken
