We want to be a welcoming instance and those kind of discussions can be head somewhere else.
I know it probably wasn't intentional but I love what you did there "can be head somewhere else", I just think it's kind of funny because the malicous users are from the instance known as exploding-heads. I know I'm such a dork.
Second one seems very likely, the text in the sidebar implies that it's very hands off "Why trust some Big Tech corporation to host your data when some random geek can do it?". Also the instance went down for a few minutes when I tried to post something there on my old account but then miraculously came back up again, I'm not sure if Lemmy has automatic crash recovery so this might not be a good indicator.
