Maybe because of the literal content of your post?

I scrolled through some of their posts and comments and it’s full of ridiculous anti-left propaganda, for example a post where some liberal Florida family fleeing the state when some child protection laws got passed, implying liberals abuse children and won’t live in a state that doesn’t allow them to.

I’ve got news for you: the entire planet has not taken up American political idiocy. Nobody outside of the USA (and many of the people in it) gives a fuck about American political slapfights.

If you want a safe space instance for one or another American “team,” find it somewhere else or start one yourself.

I’m not in favor of defederating over political preference at all. I don’t come to this instance expecting an echo chamber, and an echo chamber is precisely what I do not want.

If you want to avoid SMR performance penalties, the 1TB HGST Travelstar 7K1000 HTE721010A9E630 is one of the biggest CMR 2.5" drives I’ve found, and it’s 7200rpm and rated for 24/7 operation to boot.
