Yeah and why the big deal? I didn’t notice any signs saying the fediverse is only for lefties. I may not agree with conservatives but that doesn’t mean I think they should be excluded.
Sure they should. Their entire online presence revolves around hurting people they dislike.Has there ever been a forum they contributed positively too?
Too many people give these jackholes the benefit of the doubt. “They don’t think trans people should exist. I don’t agree, but we have to hear them out” is a cowards line that puts their freedumb of speech above trans people’s right to exist.
I hope we’ve learned that lesson by now. Sure, wait for them to break a rule or whatever. Maybe this is just one guy and maybe it’s just going to sit there. But the moment they start talking—because we all know what they’re going to say—give them the bums’ rush.
Oh hey no I don’t think we have to hear them out. Especially not if they’re coming out with hate speech - that shit should always be smacked down hard. When they start doing that, we can defed the fuckers - but they haven’t done that yet.
Maybe I’m too soft, I just don’t wanna see lemmy turn into an echo chamber.

I mean, have you ever interacted with Hexbear? The right doesn’t have a monopoly on being awful.
