Why lemmy.world should not defederate from beehaw.org.
  • A community of like minded people with similar values is not political. A community where a gay person can expect not to be made fun of for being gay is not political. The fact that people's sexualities and genders and world views are politicized and used by trolls as means to attack is the problem, not the people wanting refuge from that. Things being politicized does not make my existence political. If someone can't separate me the being from their politics that is on them.

    People just shouldnt enter conversations to put people down for their looks or beliefs or enter conversations that otherwise aren't for them. Not everything is for everyone and that is ok. Not everyone needs to hear every opinion as not every opinion holds equal weight in every forum.

  • So then you agree? It's not political?

    Whether it was the right decision or not, they said they made it because trolls were coming from those communities and those communities have open sign ups. They also said it's not permanent so it's not like they're trying to silence a group of people perceived to mostly be on those servers. Just a group of mods/admins that took maybe too severe of a step to protect their base/their time/their own mental health.

  • Safe spaces and freedom of trolls/bigots is not political. No where in the beehaw explanation do they cite politics as a reason for this. If someone kept calling me a idiot commie and I blocked them, I'm not blocking politics I'm blocking trolling.

  • It's been explicitly clear that beehaw's very few moderators would protect their users from bigots spreading hate online. It sucks that better defederation options don't exist yet within the platform but to boil down to softy liberals is so lazy and part of the problem.
