My primary argument is that they post hateful content and covid conspiracies and it is irresponsible to platform this by including it in our federation. Secondly we already got rid of lemmygrad. Thirdly, there’s little to be lost in the defederation given the type of stuff being posted over there. Do as thou wilt

Aye and nays pls

Edit: putting the screencaps I posted below here for clarity

I should probably put a content warning so

CW: homophobia, transphobia, and just being a shithead.

Edit 2: let’s try not to downvote people just saying nay. Unless they are making bad faith arguments we should respect their opinions even if we disagree.

Edit 3: Imma be real with y’all, this has been a real shitshow. We gotta work out some kinda single voting infrastructure because the ayes and Nays isn’t efficient at all.

    I don’t think you understand what the point of this community is. You’re meant to engage and discuss. you haven’t done any of that yet, why?

      Oh I’ve been engaging and discussing with the people who are arguing in good faith. You need only look in the thread. But to you, the only way I would be “engaging and discussing” is if I simply agreed with you. Thus I see no need to take your arguments in good faith.

        No, you haven’t. I’ve looked through your account. Anyone who disagrees with you is treated disrespectfully, which is not the standard for Agora.

        I’m treating you kindly, even putting out an olive branch over Berserk, but you keep being rude to me. Why?

                And how am I not being that? I’m being fair to you. I haven’t insulted you or called you any names (unlike you have done to me). I’ve been honest and open to you. And I’m actively engaging with you despite this behaviour of yours.

                  Oh no, I’m being mean to the person defending hate speech, right wing conspiracies, and rape jokes. How rude of me. I’m guess not being true to the spirit of the agora.

                    I’m also defending you.

                    It’s called neutrality, try it sometime. It’ll expand your horizons. And no, you’re not being true to the spirit of Agora. I’m not a member of EH, nor am I a bigot, so don’t treat me like one.
