Nazi instances will proliferate and it benefits nobody else to stay in federation with them. It makes the whole fediverse less usable and more dangerous. And whether you like it or not it sends a message to people who are targeted by them that they are not truly welcome here, regardless of whatever moderation rules are espoused.

And in North America, as in many places, these people are acting as a propaganda arm for a literal violent terror movement. Sometimes under a fig life of ”irony” but it makes no material difference whether they’re chuckling when they spew shit to me

They are just saying whatever to get a rise out of people like 4chan. The goal is chaos they want everyone to react and ban instances.

They don't magically go away when they are defederated. They will sign up to other open instances and plan their raids from the defederated one which we will have no visibility of. Then they can go from instance to instance causing chaos and breaking up the network as each one defederates.

Then you are back at square one where it is a user problem.

I'm not supporting this particular instance but its a problem that needs to be considered and defederation is a short term fix but will result it bigger problems down the line.

The blueprint is there to kill the network. Make a load of accounts, spam down shit until you are defederated... Rinse and repeat.

Evidence?

I mean trolls in general, I'm not calling for defederation. I'm trying to point out it won't solve their problem. I'm playing devils advocate and saying they're will always be something someone finds offensive and to block problematic individuals not the whole instance.

I want names and links
