Absolutely, but these problems are common to all the instances. Maybe I interpreted it wrong, it sounded like they were directly engaging the bad actors over management of the platform, and doing that rather than just quietly banning them and moving on.

And to be clear I'm all for open collaboration and taking feedback, but I've seen this occur for Lemmy apps where loud and overbearing voices try and dominate the conversation to the benefit of noone, until Devs either stop responding or shut things down.

Regardless, it's sad to lose an instance and I hope the admins find something rewarding to invest in without having to deal with the internet's worst members.

Or has it gone not too far enough!?

there are also some who use the platform to attack others, stir up conflict, or actively try to undermine the project. Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll.

While I respect their decision I feel like these people will just move on to other instances to do the same thing.

I don't know all the details but it smells a bit "tolerant of the intolerant" and that these people should have been shown the door before it got to the point of shutting down (other reasons aside - they're all valid)
