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.

We should try to keep this instance as a Free Speech destination, rather than yet another island controlled by the thought police.

Could we please set some rules for defederation? I'd like to suggest these two:

  1. Is it spam?
  2. Is it illegal?

If either is yes, then go ahead and ban it, otherwise allow free discussion and don't get upset that some people think differently than yourself.

Why create another thread for a subject that's been covered extensively over many threads already? ๐Ÿค” How funny that the only post history you've got is about your being pro free speech... Seems like a troll account to me!

Your posts are also all about banning baddies, and you're more insulting than any of the anti-defed people I've seen. Constantly criticizing people for having the discussion in the first place. Toxic!

I also post on other, non political, communities if you look at my history (like Quebec's), it just so happens that my subscribed feed includes The Agora and this instance's main community and it's the most active communities I'm subscribed to and the subject keeps coming back.

So let it keep coming back. It's not going to go away.

Pretty sure it will after the vote answers the question of what the community wants to do once and for all ๐Ÿ˜‰
