I understand the reasoning but I think it’s not the same situation as lemmygrad, which I feel is a normal instance with an ideological bent.

Lemmy grad actively denies Genocides. Lemmygrad says that that Tienanmen Square was fabricated by the U.S.

Lemmygrad consistently host antiwhite racism and then defends it by saying something like it’s not racist because white people aren’t real or something

Exploding-heads will poke fun at gender dysphoria in two communities, dank memes and dank taco.

EH is morally superior to lemmygrad in every way.

Finally,

You all should be using nostr where admins can’t take your voice away or your right to hear opposing opinions.

Hey @[email protected] long time no see. Hope you are doing good. I just want you to be aware there is a active campaign to get every instance to defederate with exploding heads. Probably by Lemmy grad folks. Some of the offending content is likely posted by them. And they are using dozens of alts to attempt this. I think they are mad lemmygrad.com redirects there. Anyways, I don’t admin there but know the admins and would be happy to help you clean up any trolling or bad faith post coming from there. Even if you decide to cave to this mob (it’s really only a few with lots of alts) no big deal. Just want you to know the context because I came across your post.
