Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

I know that beehaw defederated with sh.itjust.works, but over on my instance I saw the_donald show up and I promptly blocked the community. Why not just do that?
Because when you have 10 people around a table who don't mind one nazi pulling up a chair, you have 11 nazis.
Isn't blocking the community the same thing as kicking them out of the room?
I think the proper analogy here would be by you blocking the community, you turn around and ignore the nazi, while everyone else still allows the nazi. So you might frown upon the nazi, but everyone else still accepts them, so then there are still 9 people who are fine with the nazi.
