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.

    moderation action that is in line with stated community standards and past defederation decisions (i.e., lemmygrad);

    analogy is not too good tho cuz lemmygrad

    1. actively denies genocide
    2. actively calls for violent action against people who they disagree with
    3. actively goes out of their way to troll other instances
    4. actively promotes creating accounts in other instances to go and troll them

    i don’t see any of these in exploding heads, and in fact i see that exploding heads has been moderating by deleting violent content
