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.
What is your definition of good faith? is there a standard?

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.

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.

Ah, Elie Wiesel’s speech on Israel and WW2.
Perhaps you should post the rest of the quote, hm?
Embarrassing.

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.
