The Agora

Nay

Nay.

My beliefs aren"t so fragile that they're threatened by opposing viewpoints, even those that may not be put forth in good faith.

And I can simply block (the relatively small (?) proportion of) users that don't engage in good faith.

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.

Hey all,

I will be locking this voting thread as they do not conform to the Agora guidelines.

• Voting threads should run from Friday to Friday
• Voting threads should be started by a member of The Agora moderation team and must reference the discussion thread.

In addition, it appears that hexbear has reversed their decision and has removed us from their allowed list.

As Lemmy looks to add the ability for users to decide which instances they want to blocked on a per user basis, I hope these types of defederation conversations discussion become less common.

I'd like to give a thanks to the admin at hexbear carc0sa who reached out to us in the last week in order to coordinate some mutual moderation between instances.

Lastly over the last week I've read a lot of back and forth between instances and want to leave you with this.

As people we all have the right to our own opinions and beliefs. Sometimes from time to time we might come across someone who doesn't share these same opinions or beliefs. Instead of using these differences as reasons to divide us, I hope we as people can get to a point where we can use it to make us more understanding, knowledgeable, accepting and united.

As things such as Natural Disasters continue to rise globally there might be a day where the person who you disagree with is the same person who is helping you or a loved one. It won't matter if they are a leftist, rightist, white, black, LGBTQ. What will matter is whether they are a decent human being who understands that while opinions make differences they can choose to not be divide by it.

I'm not a shitjustworks user, but No. Allow individual people to block Hexbear if they wish to, but also keep it federated so those who want to talk to hexbear users can.

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
