Hey could we defederate with exploding-heads.com/
(sh.itjust.works)
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.

Many of the trolls on that thread aren't actually from that server, but they clearly reside in the same dark corner of the internet. But yeah its not really as bad as I thought in terms of needing to defederate, I thought they had over 1k users acting like that but I guess I just replied to the wrong person because the server is mostly dead.
But I have to say, I've never encountered people with such a burning hatred of redditors. Again, it's whatever but I wouldn't be bothered if we did defederate.
Your continuous misrepresentation of Exploding Heads is depressing. Burning hatred for redditors? Where do most of the anti-reddit posts on Exploding Heads originate from? Mostly from the new instances. You say dark corners of the internet, but we're digital neighbors.
If you check the timestamps on that thread you linked you'll see the non-EH people attached themselves to my comment from god knows where. It was unwanted, unsolicited, I've never seen them before and they used it as an example to show how a lemmy thread works. I blocked most of them, that's why you see my engagement disappear.
That's the example you use.
I was here years before you guys. I've seen the lemmyverse struggle. I have advocated so hard for openness, inclusiveness and communication through interconnectivity - all the while saying that people should block what they don't like or find offensive.
I find this whole thread symbolic of the culture you all on average have brought with you. Prejudice, misrepresentation, moral reprisals... I had it enough conflict, I know Exploding Heads won't block you and I know I can't be bothered to individually block thousands and thousands of users accusing me of the most horrible things, like being a Nazi.
At least you guys won't have to block two known prolific shitposters maybe having opinions other than yourselves, mostly in a space you'd have to seek out.
By being on the sh.itjust.works you are personally as responsible for this as the average exploding-head user is responsible for a few of our idiots posting on the internet. I'm leaving lemmy until full instance block is available for individual users so I won't ever have to interact with the type of average user I've seen on sh.itjust.works. Or at least in this thread.
You all drove me away from this platform. At least I have the decency not to seriously argue that you all should be disconnected from other instances.
