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.

    You don’t see their communities unless you subscribe. If their users are posting in our communities and breaking the rules of the communities then their posts will be deleted and the users banned.

    There are moderation options other than de-federation. De-federation is an option of last resort to protect the greater community from violence, abuse and crime. De-federation is not a tool for sending a political message.

    You can personally block that entire server and you will never see anything from them.

      You see their shit if you sort by new. Are you like a kbin user? Maybe shit works differently for you.

        My username shows @Difficult_Bit_1339 to you, so we’re on the same instance. If it had @lemmy.world then I would be a user on the lemmy.world instance.

        If you choose ‘All’ instead of ‘Local’ or ‘Subscribed’ then you see everything that exists, yes. I wouldn’t recommend that since it is an incredibly spammy experience. That being said, you can block any community like so:
