I say no, just like college, the point is to expose yourself to the enemy, learn what they say, or otherwise you're just existing in a bubble

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

We have an openly fascist president who reads Mein Kampf and administration members who combined have made Nazis comfortable literally doing Nazi salutes on international broadcast TV. IMO the U.S. IS the Nazi bar in the story - we let one Nazi in and now they've brought all their friends. Let's not repeat that mistake on Lemmy.
Give them the boot.
I navigated the instance some. The amount of disinformation on its posts is concerning to me. I hadent personally been effected but the potential is worrisome.
Yes for defederation
I think we should be wary and keep them on a short leash, but I don't see them causing enough trouble here in October 2025 to defederate. If I'd wanted a safe space I would have gone to Beehaw.
I voted no. I strongly disagree with maga fucks, but I also don't want an echo chamber. Discussion and debate benefit from disagreement.
They should be defederated.
Their hateful ideas should have no place here.
Defederate, we saw what the_donald become. If anything, to avoid the bots and agitators.
The post on Science Memes got downvoted into oblivion, which is funny.
But yeah, we should probably defed these pos.
Defederate. Let the right-wingers have their echo-chambers in isolation
as long as they're small and not annoying, it's better to keep them, so ppl can influence them
This is the logic that keeps them and their hateful ideas in the community.
Let them go live in their own bubble.
Locking them out of the broader community is the right choice
Users can defederate from instances. Just use the tools you already have.
iirc that only works for subs made on that instance, not users from that instance. I'm on Voyager though, so it might be different for me idk
