The issue starts beforehand. It’s easy to get an instance vote to agree with you if you ban and insult everybody on your instance who is not agreeing with you. That works exactly like those voter registration purges the Trump admin is doing.
Im sorry how is making an instance vote a “weird authoritarian way of dealing with stuff”? Or is authoritarism when someone does something you dont agree with?

Except they are not banning “everybody on [their] instance who is not agreeing with [them]”, they are banning Zionazis and their symps.

Thanks for linking that, that proves my point. If you have banned all “pro-zionist users” (whatever that is), it is no surprise that the next vote for banning a “pro-zionist instance” will also go succeed. Let’s have another vote in a few weeks proposing to ban all users who were against banning that “pro-zionist instance”! Democracy at work!

It’s a good thing to ban Zionists, actually. Support for genocidal settler-colonialism is bad.

Sure, I don’t want to share space with people who want to welcome Zionazis.

What if instead of republicans day dreaming about what a vote would look like without women’s suffrage
We imagine what democracy would look like if we didn’t allow fascists to vote

Go to their matrix channels, they’re throwing around ACAB, generalizing people and if you don’t support nuking israel, you will be banned for supporting the genocide. There is no debate, there is no discussion its a hive that moves into a certain direction and if you don’t you are an outcast. Words do still mean things and acting like you can’t govern democratically and authoritarian at the same time makes no sense.
Also acting like every community on feddit.org is a genocide supporting shithole is just crazy. The fediverse lives from its interoperability across the knots. I am a grown ass adult, I don’t need DB0 to make the moral decision for me with whom I can interact and with whom I can not. What I think is quite ironic, is the fact that even though the instance is “anarchistic”, everyone is licking the boots of the governing authority pretty good. I guess you either die a hero or live long enough to become a power tripping bastard yourself.
