I've been getting a ton of transphobia lately on here

Is it something my instance mods can fix, would them defederating a long list of transphobic instances stop transphobic comments or do the instances who's communities I post in need to block more instances?

There has been a serial troll on an unmoderated instance harassing people here. We've defederated from that instance now. The troll can of course make accounts on other instances, but they'll get shut down and banned from moderated instances

I guess I'm kind of confused -- by "on here" do you mean in this community, on blahaj.zone, or just on lemmy in general?

(I have not run into transphobia in any of those places, but I stick to a pretty small set of communities)

I feel like lemmy in general, but I have also seen a few comments here on my really awful selfie I posted

If your instance defederates another one then your instance will not download posts or comments from members of that instance. You won't be able to join communities from that instance either. So afaik that is the most effective way to prevent seeing any content from or interacting in any way with members of transphobic instances. But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.

If you see any transphobia on this community please report it and it will be removed and the commenter banned permanently.

As Lemmy grows more popular and more people join, eventually more transphobes and other trolls will find a place on the site. If the mods of your instance defederate from instances that host transphobic communities or users, that would help. The instance that this community is hosted on has been doing a good job of that.

This is not "bigotry within their instance"

This is targeted harassment originating from an unmoderated instance, which is exactly what defederating is for

I'm referring to bigotry that occurs on the same instance regardless of the source.

That isn't what is happening here

Defederating helps if the bigotry comes from accounts registered on different instances

This is what's happening here.

And yeah, trolls can just register a new account, but if they're doing it on an instance with active admins, they don't last long.

You might want to look at other instances. Artemis.camp has a great group of mods that are always trying to get rid or or outright defedirate from a instance that have this kind of content.

That's not the issue. This is a trans instance aggressively moderated by a trans admin and trans community moderators. The problem is, the community is one of the larger more obvious trans communities on lemmy, and is being targeted for hate by bigots. We are shutting them down as soon as they show, but we can't get them before they spew their bigotry. A different instance won't solve that limitation :\
