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
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.

This is not “bigotry within their instance”
This is targeted harassment originating from an unmoderated instance, which is exactly what defederating is for
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 :\
