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 think that’s your problem here. You’re operating on “gotchas”. That’s not how this thing works.

    You have your piece, and I have mine, but we can share and talk about them equally. Once you’re willing to be equal, I can explain to you why Elie Wiesel may not be the best person to quote.

      Frankly I have no real interest in whatever mental gymnastics you have to go through to convince yourself that holocaust survivor and human rights activist Elie Weisel would be in favor of an internet server of Trump supporters and bigots. If I had to guess though, you saw him say that there were human rights violations on the right and left and think that somehow applies here.

        I don’t use left or right, I think such things cause harm in the long run.

        You don’t need to guess either. You can just ask me or look it up yourself.
