My primary argument is that they post hateful content and covid conspiracies and it is irresponsible to platform this by including it in our federation. Secondly we already got rid of lemmygrad. Thirdly, there’s little to be lost in the defederation given the type of stuff being posted over there. Do as thou wilt

Aye and nays pls

Edit: putting the screencaps I posted below here for clarity

I should probably put a content warning so

CW: homophobia, transphobia, and just being a shithead.

    Things will get better if they can’t share their message all over the place though.

    A good example of that is Maxime Bernier (leader of the PPC,a political party in Canada) who has seen his support disappear after media stopped having the “obligation” to cover him because of election rules. His message lost its reach and now he’s doing live feeds in front of a couple hundreds instead of thousands.

    Why wait until it becomes an issue instead of taking preventive measures if we’ve seen it becomes an issue on many platforms?
