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.

Same tactic as always too, there's nothing special about Lemmy that will prevent the alt-right and tankies from spreading if no measures are taken. We've already defederated from the tankies instance, why not do the same with the other extreme?
Is it just the 1 person trolling so far then? Because that's all I've seen your links. If it's one troll, then the admins here can just ban them and move on.
As the saying goes, 1 is chance, 2 is a coincidence, 3+ is a pattern
One trolling, one recruiting.
That's exactly how it begins on every single platform. How long do we wait before applying knowledge learned from all other social medias?
Seems a bit early to resort to the slippery slope fallacy.
I'll reiterate my stance: there doesn't seem to be an extended history of trolling from them (yet), and there's nothing stopping you or anyone else here from blocking their content from your own account. If that changes and they start trolling or breaking rules here, then I'll definitely support defederating from them, but at the moment that seems to be overkill.
Meanwhile, I'll point out that there's spots in this thread where you have been less than civil over mere differences in opinion. That is not how you get people to side with you.
Is it really a slippery slope fallacy if the same story repeats itself on all social media platforms that don't censor the alt-right? What makes Lemmy special that would prevent it?
You do realize you're making the exact same point as anti-LGBT advocates, right?
Eh what? 😂
Find me a study showing that sexual orientation is contagious and spreads through social media like extremist opinions do. Please, humour me!
