The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    IDK why people are thinking he’s gonna de-federate for transphobia when he has allowed the matt walsh documentary to sit on his instance for days now

      I am thankful I found a non-ban-happy home where I can see opinions I may dislike.

        That’s your prerogative. I hopped to a different instance that more closely aligned with what I was looking for and also appears not to be ban-happy.

              Only thing I’m blocking is loli and annoying hentai spam. My ego is not fragile enough to shield my eyes from opinions I may dislike.

                Sometimes people just don’t wanna see slurs or dehumanizing content. Doesn’t make them soft. Something you see that is “an opinion you dislike” might feel a whole lot worse for someone else depending on their age, race, sexuality, gender, ect.

                  How do those people function in real life where they don’t have such a pre-filter?

                    In real life, you can filter by not hanging out with people who speak abusively about and to you. You can walk away. And yeah, sometimes those abusive people follow you. So a lot of them seek online support communities as a retreat from the abuse. Saying “they should just toughen up” misses on what their daily life is like, and that no one wants to be subject to constant unending abuse

                    Most people who share their hateful opinions on the internet only do it because they’re anonymous and wouldn’t dare show their real selves in the real world.

                    The filter in real life is called avoiding shitty people.
