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 love how you showcase your intolerance by dropping the veneer of civility as soon as you sense any opposition.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I see no reason to be tolerant of someone justifying why they should be allowed to say slurs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously, dude has a massive hate boner for anyone that doesn't 100% agree with them.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Dude has little tolerance for bigots and idiots who will go to bat for hate speech. If you look in this thread you can find plenty of examples of me being reasonable with people who I disagree with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Just block exploding heads and move on. Asking all of us to defederate with them or calling us bigots otherwise is you being unreasonable.

Yeah, a bastion of civility you are.

This you?

Yeah post me being civil to prove how uncivil I'm being. Perhaps it's because you are making bad faith arguments.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck off back to the circus you clown

That's civil?

I went to huge pussy loser city and everyone knew you

That's civil?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_faith

Bad faith is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another.

Unless they are making bad faith arguments we should respect their opinions even if we disagree

The hypocrisy of making a comment in the OP about not down voting people that you disagree with and then down voting people you disagree with is just icing on the cake.

Don't worry about me, I have very thick skin.

Every time you make those little incivil jabs you damage your credibility and demonstrate that you're incapable of having a conversation like an adult. All I have to do is keep you talking.

Dawg, I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. You've been haunting my inbox like a ghost of a Tucker Carlson episode. I stopped caring about being civil with you, DarkwingDuck and goat days ago.

I'm not in your inbox, this is a message board and I'm posting comment.

We literally never intersected until today, bigot.

bigot

a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

That's you buddy
