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 think they have some excellent points. I've been lurking in both instances and have yet to see any explodingheads users exploring outside of their instance (except one guy who said they made an account to cause dissent in the exploding-heads instance).
They are a tiny instance with only 40 Users per week (This is increased due to other instances peeking inside). If you look across their top posts all week, or even their hot page, you'll see that there are only a few active users. Their top post this week only has 18 upvotes. Comparatively, sh.it has 424 upvotes.
Block the active posters and communities, and you won't see them ever.

This proves my point. Most of those examples are from the same few users in the same communities.
Block them. Easy peasy.
"If thereβs a Nazi at the table and 10 other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with 11 Nazis"
I get what you're saying, but why associate with a place that allows people like that in the first place?
Don't associate with them if you don't want to. You don't have to go to their communities on their instances. If they come here and break the rules then they will be banned for breaking our rules.
The ability for you to 'leave the table', so to speak, is already available to you. You just don't sit down in the first place, don't click on their communities and don't visit their instance.
If someone posts something you don't like on another community then either report them for breaking that community's instance's rules or block them so you don't have to see their posts.
It isn't up to you to decide what other users on this instance can view or respond to. You can curate your own block list. You can't tell me how to curate my block list.
They aren't neo-nazis.
