Tbh i was looking forward to engaging in some debate with them.
did they break any actual rules or is it just because they’re MAGA?
Edit: Before you angrily comment below (as so many have done so far) please keep in mind that this is a feddit.uk meta community and i am specifically asking the question to feddit.uk mods/admins and inviting discussion from feddit.uk users.
if you are not a feddit.uk user then this entire conversation DOES NOT AFFECT YOU. I have yet to hear from anyone who actually is a feddit.uk user Admin response here
There is no debate to had with them. Facts mean nothing to these people
i’d still like to try
even if only for the entertainment value
And you think an entire instance should have to be exposed to that trash for your amusement? Maybe you might fit in better over there.
I think discourse is helpful. Horrible ideas tend to fester if left in echo chambers.
If you’re only here to talk to like minded individuals you might as well talk to a mirror
You might as well talk to a brick wall for as much as you’ll accomplish. At least my mirror is pretty.
Would be nice to hear from people on my instance that this actually affects
You don’t want to have discourse with me? Trying to make an echo chamber?
I’m just being facetious, but maga people are truly miserable to be around. At best, you’ll be casting pearls before swine. At worst, you’re advocating giving them more of a platform to be garbage people on. That latter one is bad for everybody.
debate with them.
Lol
Because it’s a troll instance and the admin is a fascist, the first rule of the instance is you “can’t disrespect the president of the United States”.
did they break any actual rules or is it just because they’re MAGA?
Yes, the admin engages in hate speech by calling being trans a mental illness (instance rule 1). The instance was also nothing but links to misinformation sources (instance rule 4) and people trying to ‘troll the magas’ when I added them to the defed list.
If you want to waste your energy debating magaheads, there’s always [email protected].
Thank you for answering the question
For starters, fuck magats. But accounts are free, make one on a different instance that hasn’t blocked them.
I shouldn’t have to.
that’s exactly what you should have to do because that’s how federation works.
No, having to join multiple websites to converse with people on those websites is how traditional social media works.
Being able to talk with people on one instance of a website from a different instance of a website is how federation works
if you are not a feddit.uk user then this entire conversation DOES NOT AFFECT YOU
Tell me, again, how does federation work?
Each instance has it’s own block list. the admins of feddit.uk decide what does and doesn’t go on the feddit.uk block list.
The admins/users of feddit.uk have no say on what is or isn’t on the lemmy.world block list
Ergo this conversation does not affect you. the fact that this post federated over to your instance is moot
🙀🥺😢🙏
Feddit.uk-er here.
Fuck having any of that brain rot maga bullshit showing up here!
flamingos-cant has absolutely made the right call de-federating from that fascist drivel instance.
No tolerance for the intolerant!
Anyone not agree? Then fuck you too!
Intolerance for the intolerant does not have to be enforced with defederation, and unless their users are actively causing problems outside their instance or they are hosting illegal content i would argue shouldn’t be enforced with defederation.
I am of the opinion that the better way of dealing with these types is speaking to them, and challenging their points. you might not be able to convert the ones already there, but you can present the other side of the argument to others who have yet to be sucked in.
They have a grand total of 19 users. it’s not like they’re not vastly outnumbered. Shutting them off and not challenging their views will only lead to them growing
Can’t tell if you’re a flag-waver or just naive.
Their whole identity is an offense to humanity.
yup, and their numbers continue to grow
recoiling in disgust whenever one opens their mouth just seems to feed into their victim complex
I love being able to block stupid people.
you do you babe
😐
😘
