I'm gratified that a lot of the conversations over there seem to point out that you shouldn't defederate entire instances because of a few bad actors. Realistically we can't all move to a new server every time a troll shows up, and the bigger the server the more likelihood of trolls.

I havent seen the donald or exploding heads content. if I was the admin of this instance id probably want to see blatant rule breaking examples to be able to remove them. is there blatant racism and whatnot over there or is it typical stuff meant to trigger liberals?

if there is blatant racism etc, have we reported it?

Honestly, the long-standing history of t_d's behavior, rule-breaking and brigading, on other platforms should play heavily into the decision on this one. This instance's admins should not wait until they cause issues here to prevent them from turning this place into a Nazi bar.

its just a dangerous precedent in my opinion. Are you okay with similarly vaguely worded arguments being used to have your favorite community banned?

Can we do a thought experiment?

You favorite community is up for ban. What evidence would result in your agreeing to ban it?

In my opinion whatever standard you would have for that question should apply to every community.

I mean that community does have a history so it's not really nothing. Just cause they haven't done it on this platform doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered. If the kkk created an instance but never broke any rules I'd think they're history as an organization should be grounds for a banning. The donald is not the kkk but I still their past behavior should be considered.
