Hey could we defederate with exploding-heads.com/
(sh.itjust.works)
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.

Comment Deletion Overwrite......
I mean, being a minority, I can't help but see that as a distinction without a difference; the right-wing, if not outright fascist, is definitely flirting with it and that already makes me want to distance myself
If you're in the US your Overton Window for what constitutes normal right-wing might be what the rest of the world sees as hateful nutters
surprising how little some USAmericans know this
edit: like our Overton Window is so far right that even the Democrats would be conservatives in many countries ; if someone doesn't comprehend the severity of this, they have little business talking about the alt-right
Considering that lemmy.ml deletes ap news or bbc articles for being "orientalism." Up until recently there hasn't been a server for anyone right of Mao.
Normal right wing is fiscal conservatives, people who believe that society should be moving forward but don't necessarily believe that governments should be involved in everything to make it so.
What we're dealing with here and on social media in general is social conservatives, far right, alt right, call them what you will, in the end they're just people who are intolerant of anything that isn't like them.
