My primary argument is that they post hateful content and covid conspiracies and it is irresponsible to platform this by including it in our federation. Secondly we already got rid of lemmygrad. Thirdly, there's little to be lost in the defederation given the type of stuff being posted over there. Do as thou wilt

Aye and nays pls

Edit: putting the screencaps I posted below here for clarity

I should probably put a content warning so

CW: homophobia, transphobia, and just being a shithead.

Edit 2: let's try not to downvote people just saying nay. Unless they are making bad faith arguments we should respect their opinions even if we disagree.

Edit 3: Imma be real with y'all, this has been a real shitshow. We gotta work out some kinda single voting infrastructure because the ayes and Nays isn't efficient at all.

Nay

if this becomes a problem we can still deal with it. But at this moment, i never came across gross content from their instance (apart from this discussion), nor did i encounter users from this instance being annoying.

##############

This may be inaccurate as I am not yet familiar with how the Federation works:

They build a village where they can behave however they want, so as long as they don't do it in our village, or do it to an annoying extent in neighbouring villages that we both visit, I don't see any need for action.

Just don't visit them.

Lastly, we should really work out the details of the voting mechanism before voting on such topics
