I noticed this instance in the All tab. It has 5 users in total but also has around 35k posts. It has posts specifically about Jesus, Christianity and a little bit of Covid.

In general, I defederate harmful instances (full-bot, CSAM, spam-infected etc.) immediately while keeping the ones people may not like but not that harmful like lemmygrad, hexbear to their own choice.

What I want to ask here is, should we defederate from this instance as whole or leave it to the users? Like are we have any benefit from this instance?

If Lemmy had a feature like default blocklist, I'm sure I would add this one there. The community that bothers me the most is: [email protected]

I see what you mean, personally I'm not really touched by it as I pretty much never browse All, but, if it does affect the experience of other users, I'm not against getting rid of them.
Though I don't find it so aggressive that full defederation would be necessary, unless they are invading other instaces with their stuff as well. It seems they're running a bot that keeps posting the same theme of video, wonder where they're pulling them from
