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.

      Not good enough for me unless they are specifically directing it at us. Defederating them doesn’t make them stop existing. It simply plays into their narrative that we are too sensitive and we can’t handle the truth.

      It’s not about them, it’s about our community and what kind of example we want to set. I would prefer to engage with any instance until they transgress against us specifically and significantly. I think that is the best way for a federation to operate.
