This seems like it could have been solved at the instance level by banning some emojis... So I guess I'm confused?
I still don't agree with censoring political views that we disagree with. It's a slippery slope, especially when these are REAL people that DO exist. They deserve to have their voice heard, even if it's so they can be shit on.
Edit: is there no way to block individual users without defederation? It sounds like taking the nuclear option against a few bad actors. We should want to have our worldview challenged since that's a core component of democracy.
Please stop with all those disingenous takes. OP makes it quite clear that it was not based on differences in viewpoint but toxic and trolling behaviour. And it is not "a few bad actors" from that instance behaving in such a way, it is everyone, since that is their publicly stated main purpose for existing.
Their community policy is explicitly against the actions described in this post.
Blatant indifference to their own community policies is an excellent reason to defederate.
