I'm trans and I really don't want to federated with these people if their mods are defending the -tard suffix and they aren't getting de-modded and banned. I also don't want to be federated with them if they ban critiquing western chauvinism.
Someone who is an admin and with more of a level head than me RN please talk to their admins about it.
Definitely possible, but I suspect the admins of instances that stall out will shut them down due to cost and management time required to keep them alive. Of course, they could also go the raddle direction and their admins could just make a bunch of sockpuppet accounts to talk to themselves with, so...
