        Honestly, if these instances don’t get their act together, I’d vote on my instance to defederate from it.

        I’m usually not one calling for defederating, it seems like a liability, though.

          My thought were the same way about not wanting to call for defederation, but after thinking about it and owning an instance of my own now, I realize that that is the whole point. Instance owners can block entire instances from federating with them. If every instance blocks an instance that is a bad actor then they literally can’t federate with anyone and that solves the issue.

          The beauty of the fediverse and the power of ownership is being able to take decisions like these.

      Many were probably set up expressly for one user. They may be just newbies who followed an install guide but without any clue about how to administer a server. Is there no way to contact these owners? Refreshing a user dB is simple.
