Genuine question. If the admin dipped won't the instance die on its own within a month or so? If the admin disappeared I doubt they will continue to pay for hosting.

I'm not 100% sure so don't quote me on this but it could be on a yearly hosting plan in which case the hosting hasn't run out yet, but in the future it definitely very well might and then it will be taken down. Only time will tell.
It could also be hosted locally, and in that case if he still paying rent, electricity, and internet it'll likely stay up indefinitely unless he stops paying for the domain then the server will still be there but the domain will go dead or be reassigned.
Yeah I guess those are all valid options as well. Best to just defederate and move on.
I understand. But IMO this is a huge problem with federated server models: you're making that choice for everyone on the server.
Now keep in mind I don't know what they're posting on rammy lemmy instance. If they're doing some KKK shit over there I probably agree with you. But I'd say if it's just right wing Trumpies I'd say it's wrong to do that over political spectrum.
unless they're breaking standard Internet boilerplate rules I don't think it's a good idea. Free speech is a good thing but it always comes with idiots. It's a package deal. Let that reside at a user level. Remember there are extremists on the left just like there is the right.
Edit: One might consider too whether some of these are political propaganda accounts. This should be looked into especially now that AI is so widely available especially.
