And asked the community to feed back about whether they'd like to do nothing, 'silence', or 'defederate'. The response was almost entirely in favour of silencing.

Today, especially after noticing that those two instances DO federate with an instance that hosts fascist content, we went ahead with that silence:

Thank you, .art, for supporting a solid no-nazi stance. <3

@HikaTamika Hmmmm nothing serious I'd say, no. He's been pushing back against implementing useful or security-centric things the community has been asking for for five years. I think what usually happens is the other devs working there kind of claw their way back to a middle ground.
