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.

As far as I am concerned there is nothing to be lost by defederating with an instance whose most active communities are devoted to transphobia and covid conspiracy shit. It's not a matter of both sides having value they bring to the table. They are wrong, and we have nothing to gain from a federations with them.
I've already watched at least two people get banned for sharing a story that doesn't jive with the popular opinion on some instances.
I don't want another echochamber.
I've been banned because I used the British Cigarette word about my experience of homophobia. Truly hilarious.
I'm not British, but when camping my friends use the original meaning of the word "faggot".
Hey, the fire's about to die, bring us another faggot.
