You know we value diverse opinions, discussion and debate at Exploding Heads. Unfortunately we live in a era when a tyrannical minority are trying to stamp out anything that does not align with their views.
Good conquers evil, although sometimes it takes some time and the good suffer some cuts and bruises along the way.
Our path to victory in life is to be the best people we can be.
With that in mind, I would like to remind you all of the rules for this instance:
Rules
- Be authentic.
- Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
- No porn.
- No ads / spamming.
- No doxing
- No threats or personal insults
- No discrimination
- No gore or graphic video or pictures
- When posting on a federated instance/community, obey the rules of that instance/community.
You will notice I added the last one in today as a reminder to be good neighbors in the Fediverse.
the defederating instances simply have illiberal / authoritarian leftwing views
Why would people with liberal views want to defederate us wholesale?
they have illiberal views… meaning they do not want freedom of speech, hence want to censor discussion with us
You sure they just don’t want to deal with hate speech?
yes, which means they are illiberal, i.e. want to censor it, i.e. do not tolerate it - at least illiberal on that topic
