It was a super bigoted alt-right subreddit that eventually got banned
Someone recreated it on sh.itjust.works and started posting garbage
The greater fediverse caught wind of it and called for sh.itjust.works to be defederated.
The sh.itjust.works admins got rid of TD (and the user, I believe)
I'm not sure, but I believe at least a couple of instances defederated sh.itjust.works for a bit before letting it back in once action was taken
No, nobody defederated us over this and nobody "pressured" us. The vast majority of users here didn't even notice a 1-person community with like 5 posts in it. It was deleted as soon as the admin was made aware of it and went through the posts.
Thanks!
