You can’t keep them out, but you can choose not to Federate with them. They can’t take over. That’s the point of having independent federated servers.

It’s because the 2024 election is coming up.

I had that exact conversation at work a few days ago. Someone was insisting that Spaniards are Latino, so I asked them if Spain is in Latin America or Europe. That was the key to them eventually figuring it out.
