    every instance has some users worth keeping in some conversation

    That doesn’t contradict what I said.

    Refraining from making the fediverse an archipelago where people refuse to talk to anyone who had the misfortune of picking the wrong instance

    The fediverse cannot now be made that because the fediverse is already that.


  • Do they genuinely believe the shit they’re peddling or are they paid propagandists or is their something more nefarious afoot.

    From my interactions, I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re mostly seriously broken people who’ve discovered Marx, convinced themselves that capitalism is the cause of all suffering and believe socialism is the solution that will free them from their trauma. The degree of their attachment to socialism is a reflection of the degree of their suffering and brokenness.

    If they weren’t so toxic, they’d be deserving of compassion and forebearance.

    Every time we fragment the fediverse we make it overall worse.

    Only if your conception of better/worse is focussed on user count rather than user quality.

    Average users don’t even understand what they’re looking at when it comes to decentralized networks

    Refraining from defederation won’t change that.

    we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else

    Why should we?

    Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don’t align with yours!

    Actually it does. Just like IRC, the fediverse is not a democracy, it’s a dictatorship. As a user, you have no rights at all. You’re offered the privilege of being permitted to connect and participate. Don’t like it? Nobody cares. Go start your own server/network/whatever.
