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.

    I think another point of view is we are not “convincing” the creators of this reprehensible content of anything.

    We are, instead, posting opposing views which may expose persons who wind up down that rabbithole - on purpose or by misadventure - to a different way of viewing the world.

    That Utopian concept said, “AYE.”

      People that won’t fall down the rabbit hole in the first place if they’re not exposed to these beliefs in the first place. They’ll still see people with the opposing point of view though.
