As far as I see that instance is a far-right cess pool. Everything I've got from that instance were low-quality transphobic "news articles".

The main problem is that things show up in the "All" view even if you are not subscribed to them. And some instances are really so toxic, that blocking their individual communities isn't practical anymore.

Then a better solution would be a user-side instance block, similar how to on lemmy users can block communities. Defederation is the wrong direction for the site to take.

I generally agree that defederation is bad, but with instances that are really **and only ** a cesspit, it should be ok.
