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.

Extremists are very good at "just making jokes" and "just asking questions" and maybe to you that's what they're doing, but doing the joke opens the door to "just talk about X for real though" and suddenly people are arguing and you'll have some regular people that will start believing there might be some truth to what the extremists are saying and the spiral begins. They might never reach the deep end, they'll take what they're open to. Someone single and insecure might just adhere to the incel stuff and not the racism, someone who just lost their job when a black person got to keep theirs might adhere to the racism but not to the anti-women stuff...
"JAQing off", as I've seen it be referred to. It's always in bad faith.
