I appreciate your perspective on this. I think something weird is going on there in the past couple of days. I was pretty unaware of them until literally yesterday I found myself in the comment section with some of the most bafflingly insane opinions I’ve seen (imo anyway). I strongly suspect they’re being astroturfed hard by Russia right now. There’s no way to mark their community suspicious or something in our feeds? Lemmy needs more instance to instance controls than than just severing ties.

Imo I would give it a few days and then defederate if they continue to be problematic. It would be great if someone occasionally reviewed defederated instance because that’s going to fragment the fediverse so badly
