Possible Defederation with lemmy.name (poptalk.scrubbles.tech)

Unless anyone says anything major, there have been several low effort rage bait/troll/anger posts from the instance lemmy.name. Checking it out it seems to be small but open for registrations and so getting a reputation.

In general I try to limit defederation to one of the last options, (i.e. super NSFW instances, ultra conservative right leaning instances, or anything that just spews hate) but I have already defederated with a few. I take it as if you want to see that stuff that's great, join a server that federates with both and you can see both - but I won't host it here.

Please let me know here if anyone would be horrified by this or they'd be cut off, otherwise I'll defederate from it.

Well you're doing a great job because I haven't seen any of it. Does it seem like trolls are username jumping and persisting past bans? Or more like the juice isn't worth the squeeze of keeping them federated?

No once banned it's doing okay, there's just been an uptick in lemmy.name users specifically, and for such a small instance I'm leaning towards just defederating it completely. I'll keep an eye and see if the trend continues
