Comment on Some weird spam and christo-cultic propaganda. Would we defed from it?

Just because you don’t like the content doesn’t mean you have to instantly defederate. I am getting really tired of this increasing trend of wanting to immediately defederate just because some users don’t like or agree with the content. I don’t like that content either, but it is so easy for me as an individual user to block content I don’t like to see.
Unless the users on that instance are maliciously posting illegal content in droves onto other instances or something, there is no reason defederation should be considered. Defederation is a last resort option, not a first response to something you don’t like or agree with.

Posts there are a spam to indocrinate other users.
Imagine them, but being about how they’ve found their place in the church of scientology.
Besides that spammer, there are not many users, not much content. It can be sawed off without anyone noticing that shit.

Of that one problematic community, there are like 6 users. Just block the users and the community. Very easy.
Why should we punish people that decided to create an account on that instance just because of the like 6 people posting content you don’t like by removing the other user’s right to access this instance via their account on that instance?

Why did they create their accounts there in the first place? Do you really want to hear them?

Well, maybe they just picked a community more or less at random. I, for example, don’t have a particular reason to have picked sh.itjust.works. It was simply the first community I came across. Do you have a reason why you picked this community specifically instead of any of the others?
