The voting process was young. It probably wasn't great. It might have even been a "shitshow." But it was still good enough to agree on defederating a malicious instance.
I do not believe that free speech is compatible with social media. None of the social media platforms are public squares. They are all private. For instance, sh.itjust.works has the “no bigotry” and “be respectful” rules which disqualify us from being a free speech platform. Doxxing is, in and of itself, not illegal, and yet it's not allowed even on Twitter. Most places are not friendly to porn, either.
Doesn't the OP say that exploding-heads is filled with bots, though? That they are a disreputable instance is just a distraction now, I think.
"Free speech" is not compatible with social media, in my opinion. We have the "no bigotry" and "be respectful" rules, which already disqualifies us from being a free speech platform. Lemmy instances, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit; none of them are public squares.
They are a bot instance, though. And a Nazi instance.
Please don't be naive. We've already seen where this goes. January 6 has already happened. The Club Q shooting has already happened. These are not isolated incidents. This brand of hatred is not nonviolent anymore. We should not remain passive in this case. If someone from our instance wants to read and post alt-right stuff, let them create a new account on their instance.
I gave my 2 cents already in this thread, but you all should have honored the previous vote. This discussion and vote should have been about re-federating them. He's not wrong that this is redundant and tiring.
We're under no obligation to federate with anyone that we don't want to. They're not just a Nazi bar, which I now believe is a good enough reason to build our wall, as you say, but they're also a Nazi bar with Nazi robots.
