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.

    Could we have some links to examples so everyone can get an informed view of the kind of content you’re talking about? I don’t browse that instance normally.

      This. I’m not doubting that the issue exists and I’ve heard it can be seen often, I’d just like to see the kind of bad behavior we’d be blocking as an example for the choice. Pics, not links are better for archiving the evidence.

            No worries! From the sounds of it it’s being talked about on a lot of other instances too lol I’m just mostly in the gaming communities so haven’t seen anything before this.

            Oh I actually meant to respond to the main post. To my defense this post is kind of buggy on my phone because all those screenshots.

            Anyway, no thank you I am not interested in this shit. However I think people know themselves what they subscribe and what not.

                Yeah, but I understand that it might be overwhelmed these days. Sorry for the passive aggressive sounding nay on your example list. I really just wanted to give a neutral sounding nay as a parent comment.

        One of these isn’t from Exploding-Heads, you might want to remove that one example.

        There is dissent and disagreement in the only example that actually has comments.

        Not very convincing if your best examples are of one or two users who are posting dumb boomer headlines with zero upvotes and zero comments.

                  I don’t even know who Ashley is because I don’t give a fuck about the us.

                  But why don’t you just block their communities and users? It’s a tiny instance of like 20 users.

      Yes please not all of us are terminally online people who can read all the undertones.
