The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

Yes exactly. Just like there are idiots in real life, we ignore them and move on. Everyone is entitled to an opinion even if we disagree with it. Sure people can spout some nonsense devoid of facts we can down vote if thats the case .

You might disagree with someone on politics but like the same sports team for example. There are humans on either side so like in real life we can get along and don't need to agree on everything.

If something is illegal or its hate speech or something like that then report and block the user and the content.

If you don't like a community you can block it but if we shut off instances all of the time I can guarantee you the fediverse will just turn into isolated echo chambers and we'll all be forced back to corporate walled gardens.

If we can coexist in real life we can coexist here.

We need our views challenged to grow. Being corrected is a good thing thats how we learn. Life is short at the end of the day let's not try to take it too serious.

holy shit, how do I even begin to explain that you can't just "ignore" Nazis and racists and transphobes and letting them keep their platform

you do understand that they hurt real fucking people, right????

[–] chalkman@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see why we need to coexist with people who are against coexistence with certain groups of people.

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sounds like you are against coexisting with conservatives

Sounds like you would like lemmygrad.

Anarchist, but hey you tried...

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then you should feel at home with a anarcho capitalist instance like exploding-heads

[–] chalkman@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ancaps are not real anarchists. They are neo-feudalists at best and nazis wearing the skin of an anti-authoritarian at worst.

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Communist are not real anarchist. They are neo fascist Nazis pretending to care about financial equality. And they deny the Holocaust happening In China.

[–] chalkman@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yes because anarchists traditionally love China. /s Get real

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then admit China is prosecuting Muslims and jailing them in slave camps. A real "Anarchist" would have no problem defending freedom.

[–] chalkman@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

Dipass, I already answered you and ur little gotcha question. Get off your alt and touch grass.

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let me ask you this ... Anarchist. Do you think what Xi Jing Ping is doing to the Muslims in China is bad or are you a Holocaust denying Wumao?

[–] chalkman@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah the treatment of the uighurs is tantamount to genocide. Not sure what kinda gotcha this was supposed to be.

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks, now tell more if your communist friends

[–] takelgryph@pawb.social 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

you're an idiot if you think China is communist

the entire country is just capitalism with extra steps

[–] sixdix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please list the "Real" communist countries who's communism worked. And I will concede that China is not "Real" communism.

I had a professor once who's thing was Russian history from the 16th Century through WWII, and various other connected things. Who said once that the founders of the Paris Commune are rolling in their graves, to see what became of their movement. Side note He was kinda Conservative but he gave me the reading list that turned me against Capitalism, "If you're going to read left wing sources... I can at least point you at the good ones"

[–] chalkman@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Anyone who thinks otherwise isn't my friend. Do you think all communists think the same shit.
