I think the concern is the stated nature and purpose of the instance. It's almost certainly going to draw the kind of users and content that would be problematic.
The purpose of this post is to determine if our instance should preemptively manage the anticipated problem. Far left instances have been similarly defederated alongside other problem instances.
Anyone is free to join that instance. And any user from that instance is free to create a federated account with any number of instances to be a part of the greater fediverse. So long as they follow instance and community rules, they're free to participate with everyone.
Honestly, this is an age where we really need to be working on deescalating as much as possible.
I fully agree. And I would hope part of that de-escalation would be finding common ground with those with whom we disagree.
Instead of forcing the individual users to come and be yelled at one at a time, I'd love for them to have a place so we can start some sort of talks, even if it's just stupid shit like what video games they like. I dunno. If we can't find common ground then it's just two sides trying to destroy each other until it's too late to solve our actual problems.
