Ok, this is my official petition to defederate from sh.itjust.workslocked
Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it's pretty much exclusively a user from there.
I made a comment about this today on a thread made by a user from that instance and now I have rather graphic scat porn gifs in my inbox from their users. If you somehow don't know what that means - I am now being sent explicit gifs of people defecating out of their anal orifice because I think their instance is filled with bad faith trolls. They're really doing a lot to dissuade me of that notion.
So fuck you, here's my petition to defederate.

Defederation isn’t the answer. Use the tools you have available as a user and block instances/users you don’t want to share content with.
Whenever I see these threads pop up I always look for this comment. People need learn to block communities and users that you're not keen on, not reach for the de-federation ban-hammer because you personally don't want to see the content.
There's an argument to be made about instances made 100% in bad faith, or where the content is overwhelming stacked, but for most of these situations people need to take care of this themselves
This is the appropriate action.
This is The Way.
