Defediverse
(lemmy.ml)
EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)
What's cool about the fediverse is that we get to choose.
Do I want to be in an instance that federates with everyone, good and bad?

Or do I want to be in an instance that defederates on a whim?

Personally, debate I've had that was insightful was generally in good faith to begin with, and would be allowed on platforms like Beehaw, so I don't see much use for "anything goes" kinds of platforms. Additionally, I'm not always in the mood for debate. I can just switch between different instances depending on my mood. Given that everyone can choose their instance, I don't see much of a reason for trying to federate with everyone.
I haven't seen much in the way of actual debate, more 'soviets good west bad, da comrade!'
There's nothing to be gained from arguing with crazies and naive college students. Had my fill of those types on reddit. Now I point and laugh until I get too annoyed and I'll find a new instance
They were never here to debate anyway, their only goal is to "dunk on libs" and spread authoritarian propaganda. They're crazy.
Agreed. I haven't been on an instance that federates with them yet and I'd like to keep it that way.
