Thank you, dear admin, for your timely and thoughtful reply.

This post seems even more likely to devolve into the same kind of attacks.

Yes, I completely agree. In fact, it seems like there are already signs of that happening.

OP: Please always report comments that harass you

Thank you. I will.

I know that walking away from an argument is extremely difficult, but in the threads you linked, there is an irreconcilable disagreement about which sources can be trusted

Irreconcilable indeed. I have learned my lesson from several fruitless arguments with them.

While I know there isn’t a consensus on this topic among lemm.ee users, I personally don’t think defederation is the correct approach

I see. I respect your decision.

the way some people casually throw around the insult “nazi” is completely ridiculous (and I don’t just mean hexbear users here)

Yeah! They are the ones “diminishing” the word nazi.
