The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

No, don't de-federate. If you don't like it, block it, easy as that.

Lemmy is meant to be better than reddit, which means dealing with opposing views. If they're triggering or offensive to you, block them.

That means running the fediverse on non-proprietary software, not forcing the end-users to interact with conspiracy theorists

No one is forcing anything. You’re allowed to block them, so do just that. If anything, defederating is the more “forcing” course of action.

Blocking them means I'm interacting with their posts
