The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

“Defederating for political reasons” is like a completely normal reason to do so. Like, why the hell should we tolerate alt-right shitheads here?
If you think this is “just political drama”, count yourself lucky to not be affected by the alt-right
I’m affected by the alt-right, and I don’t consider them much of a threat. They’re just a bunch of closeted little boys with mummy problems.
