The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

I'm going to agree with contextual idiot
Nay
Mainly because we ourselves have felt what it is like to be defederation because of others on our instance. There could very well be normal upstairs people hosted on that instance that never interacts with their instances community itself.
If we defederate we risk them getting stuck in an eco chamber and potentially become exactly like the rest of them. And then that also brings up the same issue. The ones that are already bigots, if put into an echo chamber are going to think they are correct and are going to become bigger bigots. We won't ever see it but the people in their day to day life will.
And you think letting them take part in discussions here won't make users outside their instance convert? The more they can spread their message the more people join their cause and more join then leave. Sure some are already over there and don't believe their bs, there's a lot less of them than potential converts on Lemmy at large.
Don't be afraid of their "arguments".
What I don't want is to see more people join them, I know I'm not at risk, but some people are.
So you'd rather they join there because that's their only option and get them submerged in that bubble?
They won't join then if they don't see the message in the first place.
This is a delusion. Everyone knows how deep the youtube rabbit hole can take you.
Well then, buy YouTube from Google and remove the content from there... Or you know, do your part where you're able to.
