Tankies suck, and Conservatives suck imho. They may share shitty views, which is complete nonsense, but I'm finding it a wee bit weird that a Conservative, who I'd assume is all for freedom of speech is trying to shut down speech. I've been here for days now, and I've not seen anything from Lemmygrad. I know it's there, and I don't want to dip my toe in and it's not being thrown down my throat. It's pretty obvious what it is from the name. If I want some weird alt right nonsense, I'd check out truth social or telegram. You know what you're getting.
"Let's get away from the reddit top down control, and implement top down control here". Hmmm...
I agreed sometimes we shouldn't censor. But if other instances just are shit then I think it's best to defederate. Plus it doesn't hurt the other instance. People are still free to go wherever they want it's not censoring the same way reddit and centralized platforms would do it
You have a point. I'm wondering if we've been in echo chambers too long, and federation gives the opportunity to challenge nonsense, and take the edge off fringe opinions.
You see the problem with letting a few Nazis in like lemmygrad is you run the risk of becoming a Nazi bar.. You need to nip the problem in the bud before it gets out of hand.
