Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared

  Nobody is saying that they can't, mostly what you'll get is calls for defederation.

  Calling for defederation is a matter of simply not accepting content or voting from the targeted instance. Everyone has the right to spin up an instance for whatever they believe, but everyone else also has the right to not pass your content through their servers or display it to their users

  This isn't to call to shut them down, this is to raise awareness so people can update block lists, instance admins to investigate/check with their users/mods on what they want to do

    Yeah, isn’t truth social part of activitypub, just defederated…

  They can have it. We just don’t want to federate with them, which doesn’t prevent them from having their own instance all for themselves.

  They’re totally allowed to, just as we’re totally allowed to defederate or block or whatever. The question is why are they here, when they have taken over all the mainstream places and don’t really need a federated niche community.

  Because I don’t want to interact with them outside of very specific, and sporadic, questions. Their presence is an active detriment to me. Let them go back to truth social.

    Do you ask a cockroach or ant infestation to politely go away as well?

      Is your argument here that your preferred way to deal with cockroaches is to let them have the run of your house? Hard to red anything rose out of that, given the context.

        I need you to work on your reading comprehension and try again. Not going to spoon-feed you what I’m saying if you’re here asking me to spell shit out for you friend. Also this is not endorsement of said implications either.

      You’re not making much sense to me. I ask this sincerely and without prejudice or malice. Are you feeling alright? Do you believe that having someone to talk to might help?

        Im trying to tell you that fascism/MAGA is similar to an insect infestation. Would you like me to puree some food for you next and do the airplane thing with the spoon?

  Why would we want to talk to MAGA assholes who want to eradicate most of the userbase?

  They’re allowed to make an instance, the software can’t stop them. They’re not required to be federated with.

  Just like how you can say anything you want, you’re not required to have someone listen to it, or not have someone speak their mind about it back to you.

  Because they are trolls whose purpose is to actively harm everybody else. They do not deserve our tolerance.
