The Agora
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.

Thank you, I did forget this is a Canadian instance. Unfortunately it's incompatible with even free-ish speech, much less free speech.
I disagree, but I'll leave it at that. Neither of us is likely to say something the other hasn't heard and I'm not in the mood to debate free speech and its reasonable limits for a well-functioning society today.
Given the apparent culture of the instance in question, a higher than average risk of Canadian criminal law being violated exists. Given the repeated request from sh.itjust.works admins that no activities be taken that risk violations of Canadian law on this instance, it stands to reason that the instance in question should be defederated from to limit the exposure to sh.itjust.works.
I have no opinion about people creating an account elsewhere and participating in defederated instances should this not sit well with them.
Thanks for a reasonable approach. You are right about Canadian legalities.
Free speech is when you insult Trans people and the more you insult them the freer the speech. /s
