Defederating was the right call. The_Donald is being hosted on sh.itjust.works.

The admin of sh.itjust.works has been approached but as of yet has failed to reply to concerned Lemmy users. I’m glad Beehaw admins look out for us by cutting off instances that host communities like this.

At the end of the day, nothing of value is going to come from an instance that allows hate-based/troll communities to fester or metastasize.
As an instance admin, it's my choice to moderate mine as I see fit. Same for Beehaw or any other.
That said, my instance is running on my own hardware, electricity, bandwidth, money, and time, so if I do not want to waste resources syncing that vile garbage, that is my right. If users on my instance have a problem with this, they know where the door is. 🎤
Ok ok, of course if the instance is yours you can do whatever you want, it can't be any other way, I only give my opinion and luckily for both points of view there are various instances and as a winger anyone can even set up their own, that's the best thing about the fediverse. I just wanted to make my point.
