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?

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.
Thanks for clarifying the situation. In that case, yeah, defederation pretty much solves it.

Which should be standard but unfortunately instances aren't created equal. At least with the instance you're running, it seems to be going well. Keep up the good work.
