    Also, it totally proves that any instance that preemptively defederates from them is 100% in the right (for any people who honestly believe in a wait and see approach).

      I was anti-defederate until now. I’ve always thought “fuck them,” but this is what I needed to say we should cut them out of the fediverse. Boot lickers.
