As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I’ve got from that instance were low-quality transphobic “news articles”.

      How? I can only block communities, but not a whole instance. That’s the core of the problem. It’s not just **one ** toxic community that we could easily block, it’s pretty much the entire server.

        Follow this link. On the right hand side you will see a box that says “domain” and beneath that “exploding-heads.com” underneath that there is a box with a link to subscribe and a symbol to block. Click on the symbol to block.

        Moderation has not caught up with kbin’s growth, despite the devs being very busy. Maybe it’s best just to block for now. I’m sure that kbin will take out the trash once moderation tools and mod teams are in place.

        On edit: These instructions won’t work for you, because as @vaguerant pointed out, you are not on a kbin server. However, I’m going to leave the comment up for any kbin users who might want to block that instance.

      I asked this another day. It will allow them to spread their nazi bs to new people who aren’t aware, which can become especially dangerous because they rhetoric will be unseen and unchecked by those who blocked them.

      Personally I think that’s a good enough justification for defederating vs blocking. They are outright nazis after all, idk if we really need to wring our hands over it.
