    Yes, I think it would be best if they would all gather on one instance that can get defederated. Right now they attract users on join-lemmy with “Use humor and facts to hold the ruling class accountable”, no other info.

        I think you got downvoted because people were not looking for a way to make it ok for the racist instances to stay on join-lemmy.

        I am not really familiar with shadowbannig, but users could just check their posts from another instance and find out about the ban.

          Thank you for replying!

          That wouldn’t be the point, but I don’t believe anyone cares to hear the details. No problem, I understand that.

          people were not looking for a way to make it ok for the racist instances to stay on join-lemmy.

          Neither was I, of course. Thank you for this peek into the mentality.

      Can you shadowban an instance’s users without defederating? That might be a helpful tool for some admins + mods.

      I’m not sure that I’ve seen any solution that seems to me that it would actually prevent toxicity and brigading without micromanagement. I don’t want to argue against any solution, I’m here mostly to listen. But I believe shadowbanning was created for situations like this, so I wonder if it might be a helpful tool here.
