The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

    Anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot, huh? Sounds to me this call for defederation is just to create yet another echo-chamber.

      I have no patience for “both sides” BS, anyone who uses it is obviously not worth listening to

        Bragging about your ignorance isn’t attractive. Try to be like Daryl Davis, it’ll enlighten you.

          Good example, someone whose tireless activism that helped avoid openly racist people from getting into positions of power … oh wait, no, they just got more powerful.

          10 years of engaging on reddit taught me that the only way to combat their hateful ideas is to deprive them of oxygen

            What are you even on about? How has Daryl’s work caused KKK members to get into more powerful positions?

            lmao, what a pathetic comment. “10 years of engaging on reddit”

              His efforts did nothing to stop them, one got elected as president.

              If my comment is pathetic why are you trying to divert from what I said?

                I didn’t divert from what you said lol, I replied to both parts.

                And get real, Donald Trump’s a retard, but he’s not a KKK member. Is he racist? Yeah, I think he is, but he’s not my president, so I don’t give a fuck. Trump got elected because investors and corporations saw an avenue to make money, and they did.

      The comment that was a reply to is also calling everyone idiots but somehow you don’t have an issue with it?
