A bit over a month ago, a user posted in !main@sh.itjust.works to propose defederating from maga.place. That post was followed by a discussion in !agora@sh.itjust.works a week ago, which seems to have gained some traction. In response, we're going to hold a vote on the matter. Voting will be open for one week, through Friday, November 7.

The Agora discussion post is here:
https://sh.itjust.works/post/48420886

Only sh.itjust.works accounts created prior to today (October 31) may cast a vote.

Vote by commenting either yes/aye/oui or nay/no/non.

Any further discussion should happen in the Agora post linked above.

[-] Tundra@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Yes, I would normally be against this due to creating an echo chamber - but as others have stated there are literal not so secret police terrorising citizens.

[-] randomname@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

yes we should, we don't need that shit spreading onto Lemmy, even though they make good laughing stock

[-] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago

Yes.

I haven’t seen the content, but even having a complete troll instance isn’t part of why I’m on here. If I want to see the shenanigans happening over there, I’ll just use another account.

[-] Turd_Ferg@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago

No, I came here to get away from echo chambers.

[-] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yes.

[-] szprot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

yes

[-] meep_launcher@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

No, I think that decision should be left up to users, we can block an instance if we don't like it.

[-] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago

Yes.

Normally I'm not in favour of defederation, but I stepped over to have a look and it's just propaganda and shit. Nothing thoughtful or inviting real discussion.

[-] licheas@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

YES.

[-] mcteazy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

No, building echo chambers is how we ended up here in the first place

[-] Radium@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Yes

[-] brax@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 days ago

Yes. I don't see a problem with defederating when it it is to get away from zombies looking to spread their infection of stupidity.

[-] Galapagon@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

No, seems like the only reason to defed is because of name?

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

yes

[-] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

yes

[-] Zapp@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago
