The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    That’s not what they’re saying but hey, go on defending bigots and their right to use all platforms they feel like using to convert people 🤷

      Please explain to me what I misinterpreted so I can understand better. And yes, I will defend the rights of all who want to express their viewpoints.

        They’re not saying everyone should have the same idea, they’re saying arguing with bigots leads to nothing because when they’re proven wrong instead of changing their mind they just double down and go further down the rabbit hole. The only way to prevent that is to just not let them take part in the discussion since they’re not mature or intelligent enough to do so.

          What’s that old saying… “You can’t reason with somebody who is in a position they didn’t reason themselves into”. They’re not willing to change their minds or have a real discussion, the goalposts will just be moved time and time again when their hateful ideas are challenged.

            exactly what I was trying to say

            rationally reasoning with bigots rarely leads to bigots abandoning their bigotry; oftentimes it leads to them latching onto something else as an excuse or rationalization for their bigotry, doubling down out of spite, or outright violence
