Here is the thread of theirs

I have been looking through a long thread on another instance where a few users have been trying to convince that instance to defederate from Exploding Heads - because they do not want to see the content posted on Exploding Heads.

I have thought long and hard about how to please these people. They do have the option to individually block Exploding Heads communities or users, but they either do not know how to or simply do not want to.

In the end I realized if I ban those specific users requesting defederation from Exploding Heads - they will not see any content from Exploding Heads and therefore will not be offended by it. (Truth be told I am not sure if some of these users have really visited our site or interacted with our users).

So today I have banned those users with the explanation that they have said they do not want to see Exploding Heads content. If any of those users wish to be unbanned in the future, all they have to do is say so and I will happily unban them.

These users are not being banned in order to censor them, but to help them achieve what they have been requesting - to not see Exploding Heads content.

I hope you all find this a fair and reasonable action - if not let me know.

They're not Nazis. The Neo-Nazi instance has defederated itself from all communities.

You're not even from sh.it.

I took a look at it once and I think I‘m fairly good at spotting dogwhistles, which this was full of. Anyway it‘s you guy‘s instance and you can do what you want with it.

And I‘m asking cause I do indeed have a user on sh.it, but don‘t worry, I won‘t use it anymore. If you want me to not comment at all, maybe defederate from kbin or block me lol.
