It is imperative that we defederate from rammy.site
Recently it has come to my attention that the instance where my account is located rammy.site has been taken over by right wing bigots from the site exploding-heads they have created many hateful communities and have started posting transphobic content and climate denial. There's also quite a bit of community spam on here.
I very strongly advocate that the admins of this instance defederate from rammy.site as soon as humanly possible to stop the spread of their toxic shit to other instances.
IMO if the admins have obviously abandoned an instance it's worth de-federating regardless of activity level or political lean. It's a ticking time bomb for malicious links, spam, political trolling, and other bullshit.
They turn on each other as soon as no one else is around to attack. Good riddance.
They were never together. They are full of hatred, they don't care what the person on the other side believes.
When your entire personality is to spread such hatred, you're never going to get along with anyone.
That's why right wing losers are so abusive to women. Usually you get married to someone you love and care about, but it seems like they just get married so they can make sure everyone knows they totally aren't gay!
I haven't seen anything from that instance, and I am not going to go there and see for myself because I don't seek out sources of outrage. Defederation seems like a drastic first step.
It's not drastic considering the circumstances, the instance is unmoderated their admin isn't available, that's as good a reason as any to defederate them. The instance also doesn't have a blocklist, it doesn't block any instances it's also on outdated software and being unmoderated that is a recipe for disaster.
Seems like a huge step like defederation should be reactive instead of proactive. If rammy or any other instance becomes a source of spam or abuse here then it makes sense to defederate. But I don't think it makes sense just because they have some controversial users or communities but are keeping it to themselves. (btw rammy.site appears to be down)
