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.

No, don’t defederate. Just because an instance doesn’t align politically with your views doesn’t mean that they have to be gone. And we should definetly avoid a mastodon blocklist situation.
If you refuse to meet someone on level ground because you consider them intolerant of your own ideas, you’re the one being intolerant.
the marketplace of ideas means fuck all when it comes to people telling you that you shouldn’t be allowed to exist
Create a level ground then. Beehaw never said they are a level ground, they are an instance that doesnt want rightoids arguing in bad faith, the same way exploding heads wouldnt want an army of lefties coming in and injecting themselves into every thread.
A level ground where people of whatever affiliation can converse is a great idea. Beehaw doesnt have to be that place
Someone with a brain cell, finally
Unfortunately they just have the one
Anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot, huh? Sounds to me this call for defederation is just to create yet another echo-chamber.
I have no patience for “both sides” BS, anyone who uses it is obviously not worth listening to
Bragging about your ignorance isn’t attractive. Try to be like Daryl Davis, it’ll enlighten you.
Good example, someone whose tireless activism that helped avoid openly racist people from getting into positions of power … oh wait, no, they just got more powerful.
10 years of engaging on reddit taught me that the only way to combat their hateful ideas is to deprive them of oxygen
What are you even on about? How has Daryl’s work caused KKK members to get into more powerful positions?
lmao, what a pathetic comment. “10 years of engaging on reddit”
