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?

    There has been a serial troll on an unmoderated instance harassing people here. We’ve defederated from that instance now. The troll can of course make accounts on other instances, but they’ll get shut down and banned from moderated instances

      This is not “bigotry within their instance”

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