The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    I never said they were equivalent. One of the most popular posts on the server is about creating an index of libertarian/right-leaning instances.

    One of the most prominent users (4 month acount!) is named maga_force.

    What term would you use to describe their users?

      Comma separation implies a list of traits (users are both r/thedonald users and libertarian) whereas or/and would imply that libertarians and r/thedonald users both exist in the instance

      Conservative/MAGA fits the majority of the content a lot better

        Lol fair enough, thats true.

        I honestly thought libertarian was the more flattering descriptor, but sure we can go with Conservative/MAGA
