Letโ€™s go!

[โ€“] tiberius@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Will piefed.ca follow suit?

[โ€“] mp3@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago

piefed.ca is also set to auto-defederate from any instance defederated by: lemmy.ca.

Duh. Remember that time where a MAGA person listened to facts and logic, not emotion? Yeah, me neither...

[โ€“] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I thought it was a parody instance.

[โ€“] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago

It will be after we overflow it with tgirl accounts

Ban also Charlie kirk memorial community.

[โ€“] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's got like 5 users... Unless they're actively causing trouble i would be in favour of not defederating.

That said, i'm not a .ca user so it doesn't really matter to me

Tolerance of the intolerant is unacceptable, no matter how few there may be.

I visited the instance and it did not seem at all MAGA friendly.

[โ€“] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 35 points 3 days ago

I think everyone should. that's the whole point of having a decentralized federation system: different people on different instances can decide what's to Nazi for them to tolerate. Not like Xitter where one dude decides what's the acceptable level of Nazi everyone should see every day.

[โ€“] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 28 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yep. No question. Hate speech is not free speech.

[โ€“] brown567@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

It's against lemmy.ca rules #1 and #2

As both a Canadian and an American, yes please. Nothing good comes out of MAGA.

[โ€“] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 50 points 3 days ago

Same situation, same answer. Fascists and nazis must be deplatformed. Let them have their echo chamber all to themselves. Defederate.

I don't think there's any value associating with racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, or traitors.

So, yes.

[โ€“] cyborganism@piefed.ca 29 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Should Lemmy.ca defederate from a Nazi instance? Yes. Let's not have their fascist propaganda leak into our instances.

Kill it before it lays eggs..!

[โ€“] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

Do it before it's too late.

[โ€“] IndridCold@lemmy.ca 108 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (5 children)

Fuck them. Lemmy is Canadian.

MAGA, the people who want to make Canada their 51st state, can fuck right off.

~~However, I do find it funny these "American patriots" feel they need to use Canadian servers to exercise their free speech. Their Orange god is completely against free speech. They should embrace that instead.~~

Edit: Sorry. I misunderstood how this maga place this was hosted when I made the comment. I thought it was on lemmy.ca but I see now how it's hosted and shared.

Yes, this shouldnโ€™t even be a discussion. Thereโ€™s no room at the table for fascists.

[โ€“] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 16 points 2 days ago

No censorship? Does that mean the rest of us can go in there and shit on their terrible opinions?

[โ€“] Aquaphobi@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 days ago

Get them the fuck out of here

[โ€“] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Is the sky blue? This is why the fediverse exists.

Although it would be jumping the gun a bit too soon, you have to let them incriminate themselves. Give them a few weeks and enjoy watching them wasting their time trying to appear to be good faith participants. Then clamp down on them hard when the inevitable hate starts spewing out. Be quite upfront about what you are doing, in fact warn them and their users they will likely be defederated in the future due to the expected devolution of discourse from anyone identifying themselves as such.

[โ€“] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 days ago

Yes, please.

[โ€“] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Yes! Let them be pariahs if they're going to spout that shit

[โ€“] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 31 points 3 days ago

any instance they label themselves maga are usually up to no good, its a launch point for trolling/russian backed propaganda.

[โ€“] don@lemmy.ca 54 points 3 days ago

Yes please, no point in taking any chances.

[โ€“] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 53 points 3 days ago

I vote yes.

We donโ€™t need to federate with a safe space for spreaders of hate and conspiracy theories.

At worst, that instance will become another Grad with trolls that piss everyone off. At best, itโ€™ll be a cluster of people and content Iโ€™m just going to block anyway.

[โ€“] RiceBowl@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 3 days ago (12 children)

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
