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 having an approach of de-federation where we decide guidelines and then depend on the admin staff to implement them on the individual instances is more sustainable than having to have constant vote threads about the topic.
Illegal content, places where people congregate to plan violence or doxing, etc.
This instance is not a 'free speech zone' and we have rules for people posting on communities here. I don't think we should get in the habit of using de-federation as a downvote button for instances that have opinions that people find objectionable. The block button exists for that, it isn't just a tool for passive aggressively winning arguments.
