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.

    OP, as this seems to be almost exclusively discussion, and there’s currently a discussion about how we should split things between discussion & votes, maybe you could retitle this as a Discussion and hold a proper vote after a day or two of convincing people here? If you want to ofc, those formats haven’t been voted on yet.

    I do agree with your cause, but with how much of a touchy subject defederation is, it’s an excellent test-bed for doing things in as transparent and as rigorous a method as possible.

        It seems we have not yet reached a consensus though.

      It’s not really OP’s fault that people are discussing in the replies on top of the extremely comprehensive discussion that’s already happened in the other threads.
