As a pre-emptive last resort

You know how some options should never be considered unless they're proven to be absolutely necessary through things that have happened over an extended duration of time?

They realized that they had to do that last resort choice preemptively.

(If this makes no sense it's because it makes no sense)

The admin team there had stated in the context of them not banning nazi instances that "banning is a last resort". They banned us pre-emptively.

So, they are okay with fascists, but not with leftists. Interesting... Btw, which are the nazi instances?

I think the main instance being discussed there was explodingheads, which is a weird reactionary instance that I'm not exactly sure how to categorize, but there are also more straightforwardly 4chan ones like "postinglolirocks"
