In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

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.

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.
