Im glad we defederated from blahaj, they are one of the worst lemmy instances for sure, in their post about defederating programingdev most users were ok with transphobia if they keep being federated with other instances
The admin is pretty good and is pretty dedicated to actually making a trans safe space but a lot of the new users that came in with 196 are complete pick mes who'll side with transphobes as long as they're anti tankie. It's more of a very loud minority thing than anything.
Imo she's been limited a lot by what she can do in regards to the majority of is the instance being primarily loyal to the anti communism chaser comm. Imo the best thing for her to do would be to remove c/196 but that would also involve alienating most of the users on the instance
the best time to nip it in the bud was when they brought 196 over. the second best time is now. either she rips the bandaid off or she's going to wind up with a nazi bar.
