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.

Defedarating for political reasons seems stupid to me. If it's proven that the community is toxic and full of trolls, that is an argument to do it. Anyways, as other said, for now I don't think we really need some more defedaration drama
"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.
well congrats on being lucky so far
how have they affected you personally in recent years?
The paradox of tolerance.
I understand that. I would love to just have a place where politics aren't something that is main focus
