Is it something my instance mods can fix, would them defederating a long list of transphobic instances stop transphobic comments or do the instances who’s communities I post in need to block more instances?

      This is not “bigotry within their instance”

      This is targeted harassment originating from an unmoderated instance, which is exactly what defederating is for

          I’m referring to bigotry that occurs on the same instance regardless of the source.

          That isn’t what is happening here

          Defederating helps if the bigotry comes from accounts registered on different instances

          This is what’s happening here.

          And yeah, trolls can just register a new account, but if they’re doing it on an instance with active admins, they don’t last long.
