It gives me hope for the future of beehaw refederating with that instance. They host some interesting communities. To be clear, I fully support beehaw defederating, it's just heartwarming to see instance admins do things that move things forward

End of the day, I think TheDude is being a naive idealist. A lot of us can see from 20,000 feet where this will lead, and can't help but be frustrated by this approach. I've seen people assuming the lack of action is a backdoor endorsement, and that TheDude is more than happy to have his instance raided by the nazi instance. I'm uncertain whether I believe that, and heavily lean towards that I do not, instead thinking he's running the 5th fastest growing instance while also falling for the Alt-Right's playbook. He may not want his instance to be a favorite place for nazi sympathizers to hang out, but if he keeps at this, he will foster an environment where it will be a favorite place for nazi sympathizers to hang out

Yes, exactly.

He's going to be playing wack-a-mole against Nazis while also trying to live up to expectations of the freeze peach crowd, and be left constantly scratching his head as to why the game just keeps on going.

"Wait a minute, there's something bothering me about this place...

"I know! This Nazi bar doesn't have a fire exit!"

And then his democratic idea of voting them out will fail because the nazis will outnumber the allies
