lemmy users who are ideological tend to just align with the ideology of their instance, and are happy to defederate from instances that don’t align with their political beliefs.
and i don’t really blame them. a lot of instances are tiny, but very active, and extremely toxic in their userbase. the majority of hate speech and hostility I get on the fediverse comes overwhelmingly from a small group of instances, which I eventually just blocked.
and it makes sense if an admin has their instance’s communities brigaded by one of these other instances, they should probably just block it entirely for the health of their instance’s users.
