    Nah, banning is better. This way people will learn and change for sure, definitely won’t grow to hate db0 more and more…

    if people hate us because they can’t act like that on our instance without getting a ban, then that’s really their problem, not ours. nobody needs to be federated with us if they think we’re too sensitive or woke. that’s the beauty of fedi, if you don’t like our space, you can go make your own. like you did.

    but don’t expect us to cater to your whims. you don’t pay the bills to keep our instance running. you don’t even live there. you don’t get a say in how we curate our instance.

      Turned out from “we’re right” to “if you don’t like it, leave”

      I have switched instances over some time and frankly I kind of have enough of it. At some point I’m thinking about making my own instance because I have enough of it all. We will see

      Being open to discussion shouldn’t be a luxury

        No, it was always we’re right AND you can leave if you don’t like it.

        We’re not liberals, we’re not willing to compromise on our morality just to keep you around.

                it’s the same thing. anarchism doesn’t need or want democracy, and the very idea of “the rule of the people” goes against our objection to being ruled at all.

                besides, you’re not even a part of our instance, why would your vote on anything matter? and why do you think our very large base of neurodivergent members would be sympathetic to your beliefs?

                  our very large base of neurodivergent members

                  source on this?

                  and I don’t want to be accepted, just to discuss, but I see there’s no point in that

                    source on this?

                    all of our admins are neurodivergent, and most of our mods. the instance is also advertised as being tailored towards neurodivergent people. If you want a source, talk to the members. Drop by the ADHD comm or hop on Matrix, we’re very active on our channels.

                    and I don’t want to be accepted, just to discuss, but I see there’s no point in that

                    no, absolutely not. we’re not interested in discussing our policy against bigotry. if you try, you’ll probably just get blocked by our members until a mod or admin comes around and cleans up your comments. the great thing about fedi is that nobody is forced to associate with anyone else. we all have the freedom to just cut problematic people out of our circles and move on. and the best part? that person we disassociated with is free to move on and start their own groups, with whatever agenda they want.

                    that’s true freedom.
