I was reading the original discussion on dbzer0 and kept wondering what the removed by mod was under every comment agreeing with either partial ban or defed, so I looked at the modlog. It was literally the same pigshit picture posted over and over again, almost twenty times, by the same user, though fortunately I only had to see it once, by choice.
That’s a serious personal commitment to assholery right there. To be honest I can’t claim to understand some of the political nuance that was coming up in the thread, but that one dude sure did make a strong argument for defed via the modlog, lol. If that’s an example of what dbzer0 has to put up with from individual users of another instance, then considering defederation is absolutely a legitimate discussion to have.

That appears to be a troll account from my instance that was created just to do that, but by that behavior they are almost certainly a hexbear. They’ll never change

One might think so because the image is hexbear.net/PPB, but the person was responding to defenders of Zionism. So a Hexbear-hating Zionist seems more likely.
