  Ideas should be fought with ideas, not censorship

    Propoganda is not a genuine exchange of ideas, and users should not be subjected to hate and bigotry.

    No historically the most effective method is not giving them a platform to take advantage of.

    Given I haven’t actually looked into any of the material talked about in this post, is it possible they are not necessary ideas and instead demonstrably false misinformation.

    If it’s demonstrably false misinformation instead of ideas then yeah they should probably be defeaterated.

    Those aren’t ideas coming out of there. Ideas require conscious thought.

    Not here though. This is not a free speech platform and we never claimed it was. We want to be a welcoming instance and those kind of discussions can be head somewhere else

      I know it probably wasn’t intentional but I love what you did there “can be head somewhere else”, I just think it’s kind of funny because the malicous users are from the instance known as exploding-heads. I know I’m such a dork.

    A tolerant society cannot be tolerant of the intolerant. Hence, defederation it is!

  I agree with both of these points, users definitely need the ability to block instances that they don’t want to see

  Instances which violate your home instance’s rules or are a threat to the instance should be defederated to protect the users on that instance and maintain a healthy community.
