    Personally, I’m against defederation for political reasons. This feels like a mistake that will serve only to reinforce echo chambers online.

      They weren’t “defederated for political reasons”. What they were doing wasn’t good faith political speech. They were trolls who’s only purpose was creating chaos. If you’re really dedicated to their actions this is the fediverse, you can create an account there and read and participate as much as you want. Every user can decide for themselves if there is anything of any value there. I don’t think so so I’ll be staying right here.

      There’s a certain irony to celebrating the admins building a wall between two communities as “freedom”.

        If a community exists only to cause issues and inflame culture warrior issues (such as anti-woke,) they don’t deserve to be given an honest chance.

        Honest chances exist for honest people. If they refuse to abide by the common rules of decency, and instead want to treat the place like /b/, we have no obligations to let them be heard.
