In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

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.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

A bit over a month ago, a user posted in !main@sh.itjust.works to propose defederating from maga.place. That post was followed by a discussion in !agora@sh.itjust.works a week ago, which seems to have gained some traction. In response, we're going to hold a vote on the matter. Voting will be open for one week, through Friday, November 7.

The Agora discussion post is here:
https://sh.itjust.works/post/48420886

Only sh.itjust.works accounts created prior to today (October 31) may cast a vote.

Vote by commenting either yes/aye/oui or nay/no/non.

Yes.

I’ve already blocked the whole instance due to the kind of content sloughing out of it.

Seems effective enough, why defederate altogether?

Yes.

'I know it's called swastika.ss, but their admins seem friendly enough, so shouldn't we invite conversation?'

The secret police are in the streets. At this point we shouldn't even tolerate right-wing hugbox communities, on otherwise normal instances. A whole server for fascists, labeled 'yes hello we support fascists,' does not get a seat at the table.

Yes

No room for intolerance in a tolerant society.

[–] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Tolerance requires intolerance to the intolerant
