Right. I don't mind people wearing certain red hats. It lets me know right up front what to expect. Reddit had the same dilemma once upon a time where specific subs were banned, and that just forced the roaches to hide in unknown areas where once you knew exactly where to find them all.

In my experience these "containment" boards/servers/sections tend not to work.

Long term it basically just creates a place that attracts those you don't want, and becomes place for those ideologies to spread. Then it either gets bad enough they take over (you know the site) or they break off wholesale and form a new community dedicated to those worst impulses (pyrrhic victory at best).

The best policy is to actively moderate, and in the case of the fediverse, defederate, those groups and those that give them shelter.

Meh, they're just going to flood over into grad and .ml where they'll be welcomed with open arms.

Then all those ".ml's not that bad, they're kinda nice" folks will see that .ml mask drop and then finally .world will defed from the last of the Tankie ~~Triad~~ Dyad

I'll take it. It's easy enough to tag people when I see them unironically spewing russian propaganda or bringing up American atrocities to justify Chinese ones.
