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.

If they get defederated I lose the option to subscribe to them.
I want to have 1 fediverse account, not 10s of them.
You can have one account over there then or on any other instances that is federated with them, I'm sure there are plenty of instances that are federated with everyone.
I started on this instance because the admin stance was to my liking. Unfortunately, he decided to let the mob rule. I need to start looking at VPS providers to run my own instance.
So their decision to unilaterally defederate from an instance was to your liking but now that it's up to debate you're not satisfied anymore?
How ironic.
No, I was against defederating tankies as well. In hindsight that was the warning.
If the blocklist stayed that way, so would I.
Holy fuck that's fucking golden!
From your post history!
So, are you going to admit that you didn't mind seeing the tankies go because you're right leaning and it's also why you fight against defederating EH?
Seeing as you're moderating subs for crypto and guns, everything is so freaking clear now!
Oh the hypocrisy!
I agree that I should've turned around as soon as I saw lemmygrad defederated. My bias told me "eh that's not that terrible".
But it is.
Yeah, it's not that terrible because it's the group you disagree with but we can't go and ban your buddies at the other end of the spectrum can we? 😂
Alright, I'm done with you, I pointed out your hypocrisy, you can't argue in good faith and as I mentioned before, only those who argue in good faith deserve to be heard!
Not just disagree with, they are just so irrelevant their absense is not missed.
As you noted, that ban was also done with zero discussion. As a free speech believer, I would advocate for them just the same.
What I wrote in that thread, and what you took as hypocrisy (because that's what you are looking for), is still true. Siloing is inevitable because of how idiotic human culture works, but that doesn't mean I should stay silent about it when it's brought up for discussion/vote.
Of course I am aware my efforts are in vain, duh.
You "were against it"... But there was no discussions about it anywhere as it was done at the same time the instance was created... a week before you joined?
