Anyone “pretty much defederating” wasn’t an ally anyhow. Lots of “I respected the transes until they said I couldn’t pick and choose which are the ‘good ones’ for their space”. They didn’t participate before so nothing will likely change.
The whole argument doesn’t even make sense. Whether or not the two individuals in question are trolls has no bearing on the situation. It DID give bigots, trolls, and perpetually online rabble rousers a very flimsy excuse to start shit and start shit they did.
Individuals don’t defederate, they block users and instances… Many not-permabanned users have blocked this instance, which is effectively like a slow defederation.
If you can name times you have seen someone picking and choosing which trans folks are “good for their space,” I will stand corrected, but it seems to vary mostly from “maybe don’t give trolls who tell depressed trans folk to murder-suicide a free pass,” or “idk what this drama is, I’m out.”
And I wonder who “started shit?” Abusive trolls that mock GNC and otherkin, telling people that literal murder-suicide is an option, maybe?
It seems like every response to this, including yours, has been a bad faith, purposeful misconception of what is being expressed.

I can already tell discussing anything with you is a waste of time.
