Visiting the server is confusing. The only MAGA bullshit i can see is the title and logo, the sole account has posted all antifa and "hard left" content as well as being a \c\antifa moderator.
Maybe it's a legitimate "hard left" or maybe it's a wierd attempt at a false flag "the left is our enemy" construction.
Could someone more knowledgeable on US politics, with more articulate critical skills than me, give a more detailed breakdown of this content structure?
It looks like there are only 3 communities; a meta for the server, Israel, and ANTIFA. The server owner created the first two and the antifa one is created by a troll who has made most of the posts on the server with the single exception of one post the server owner made to the meta community (an RIP charlie kirk post).
Fuck the magats and their orange narcissist god. Canada doesn't need to have ANY association with them and their trade war against us.
It's got like 5 users... Unless they're actively causing trouble i would be in favour of not defederating.
That said, i'm not a .ca user so it doesn't really matter to me
Tolerance of the intolerant is unacceptable, no matter how few there may be.
This will be unpopular but I wouldn't defederate it just for having shitty politics just like I don't believe in defederating the "Tankie" Lemmy instances for their politics. As long as they're not shitting up the rest of the lemmyverse like the way r/The_Donald used Reddit like a fleshlight from 2016-2019 they can have their little corner, who gives a fuck.
You're right, that will be an unpopular opinion, because MAGA have proven every chance they can that they will not keep to themselves. Over and over again, every chance they get, they try to push their insane feelings and religion and bullshit onto everyone else.
We're watching the Paradox of Tolerance in real time, and yet there are still people like you going 'well as long as they're intolerant but don't try to spread their intolerance it's probably fine.'
The entire point is that they're intolerant, they're not going to keep that to themselves.
They don’t stay in their corner, all they do is seek out pathetic arguments because they’re loser narcissists. And they can’t stand each other because they hate themselves so they always spill out of their echo chamber
We know with 100% certainty that they will indeed shit up the rest of the fediverse.
Duh. Remember that time where a MAGA person listened to facts and logic, not emotion? Yeah, me neither...
Yes! Let them be pariahs if they're going to spout that shit
Yes wtf
I thought it was a parody instance.
It will be after we overflow it with tgirl accounts
Yes
Isolate them
I would. That's the advantage of federated social media. They're welcome to their little corner of bullshit, and rest of us don't have to listen.
yeeehuuupppp
Yes please! 🇨🇦
I am saying to not defederate. This instance of the Lemmy is entitled to benefits of white Western culture such as the cloud computing, subsidized fiber communications, and language. As great leaders such as President Putin have said, there is no need to fear for degenerates will be stomped on by the heel of righteousness.
Also I am a loyal member of the Canada who am a socialist and having the blue hair where I work at your Canadian Tire.

Yes? Like why even ask? But yes.
I see it as an opportunity to convert them.
Wanting to convert them is a noble pursuit, but you need to understand what you're up against. MAGA is a cult, and you need to treat it as one.
Here is one article giving some pointers about how to reach someone in a cult.
One of the big things you have to keep in mind is that rational arguments won't work--their beliefs are inherently irrational, and they have ways of deflecting anything that contradicts them (e.g., "fake news").
Because of this, discussions over social media are incredibly ineffective. Reaching someone in a cult involves building a foundation of trust, which needs to be done one-on-one or in a small group setting, and needs to have something other than the context of your differences.
I see remaining federated as more likely to cause additional friction and division. I urge you to continue reaching out to any MAGA you can connect with on a personal level, but don't try to convince someone online with a rational argument. There are better ways to spend your time and energy.
I don't get that place. It looks like there are 2 users, and the mod is posting lefty articles and the admin seems to be in opposition to that coming from the right.
example: https://maga.place/post/1084
All the posted content is antifascist or anarchist leftish stuff. Seems like the first user has decided to make this MAGA site as offputting as possible to actual MAGA, or to attempt to expose them to saner views. If it becomes a real MAGA space then defederate, and in the meantime pass the popcorn.
On second thoughts, just block it.
No. This place is an echo chamber and I like diverse opinions.
Somebody here hasn’t heard of the paradox of tolerance.
Looks like it.
