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.

I'm probably going to personally. But as a site, I haven't seen enough to wasn't to do that.

Again, limited info to go on.

But no.

Until I see reason to change that. They are a confusing bunch though.

No

I don't think they've been rule-breaking, I just think they're generally a bit heavy-handed with rhetoric / annoying

You know this is not the way it works here, so this is trolling. Open a voting ticket by starting a discussion thread, perhaps?

No.

Individual sh.itjust.works users can block instances and communities, and mods can ban hexbear users that break community rules. I'm not convinced that defederation is needed (yet), but open to being proven otherwise.

nay

Isolate them and they'll only get worse and their issues will seethe into everything, let them join the wider world and the edgy ones amoung them will get bored.

Yes, SJW is for concentrated Reddit Brains only and anyone who doesn't "Bazinga" the dumbest shit ever and/or has ever read a book in it that didn't contain magic or dragons is going to destroy that wonderful sense of hyper-Reddit culture and "intellectualism" that I need to feel like I'm in a group of my peers. Most of us are here because we're too big of losers for even Reddit and only came here because our favorite apps were removed that made it harder to manage my 4 "throwaway" accounts I needed because even with complete anonymity I'm still (rightfully) ashamed to be known as myself.

Nay, for now. I have to believe open discussion is good and healthy for the larger ecosystem. I support blocking individual offenders and communities as needed, and perhaps the instance should revisit this question after 30 days minimum.

This is dumb drama shit.

Why can't you dorks just stay in your own lanes. Read the instance you're on and don't deliberately be a dickwad against some viewpoint you don't fully understand

I mean, who would be left to debate politics with? People who agree with me?
