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!

I’m as leftist as they come and I do not support this action. If you don’t want to see it, mute the instance rather than creating an echo chamber.

KBIN.SOCIAL users, this is the post URL: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/39264/Hey-could-we-defederate-with-exploding-heads-com#comments

It means it is on sh.itjust.works instance! It is NOT kbin.social post, even if you can see it from your instance! Speak to your own kbin.social admin if you wish to defederate from exploding-heads!

@[email protected] I can't reply to kbin.social users so I will say it here.

For your information. If sh.itjust.works defederates from exploding-heads, only those users on those communities will be affected.

Kbin.social won't. The users there still can see both sides and interacting with both sides regardless sh.itjust.works and exploding-heads defederates or doesn't. A simple example, kbin.social people can still interact with beehaw.org, right? We here can't interact with them at all. Some already made another account on another instance.

So, people on Kbin.social should not having voice on dispute between these two communities because it has no impact on them.

Why NOT kbin.social that defederates from exploding-heads then? Why MUST sh.itjust.works? Yet I see four or more accounts from kbin.social try to do discuss this thing. Why you guys from kbin.social try to do this?
