I’m conflicted with lemmy.world’s decision to defederate with them.

In theory I disagree with them because I think open discussion is always better than silencing or deplatforming.

Of course it’s a bit different with activists who are not looking for an honest discussion, only to further their ideology.

Also, getting a swarm of tankies will not make the instance a fun place and will probably make me switch to another one who defederated with them.

I don’t mind people whom I disagree with, I’ll gladly talk with both libertarians and communists, but in my eyes tankies are the same as neonazies.
