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.

Maybe it's a user that you banned
It's crazy to me how I can recognise a user from a random screenshot on the platform lol
Yeah Lemmy is still pretty small!
Hmm, I click the link and exploding-heads.com in general doesn't open for me. So unless I got IP-banned I'm not sure what's happening. Doesn't seem like he's in my block list. I checked the modlog and he doesn't seem to have been banned anywhere on my instance.
note: these removals are all on beehaw.org, specifically this post. Maybe he was banned on beehaw after they defederated us?
For some reason this comment of his is highlighted orange??
Ahhh it most likely means it's just a "new comment", comments are also highlighted on other instances. Maybe they just highlighted it a bit on the EH instance for easier noticing? Themes™️
