The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don't think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

You're talking about someone meeting people in person, it has nothing to do with the situation at hand because anonymous people on the internet will never be as reasonable as people you're speaking face to face with.

If you knew anything about the paradox of intolerance you would also know that the philosopher behind it also said that only those who have arguments based on reason should be allowed to speak their intolerant message because only they can be reasoned with. The alt-right doesn't base its message on facts or reality, therefore they shouldn't be tolerated.

haaah, caught you now. Here, you used an offline persona as justification that censoring online communities works.

But once I use an offline persona as justification that discussion works, suddenly it's invalid.

How embarrassing. Just in case you delete your comment, I'm going to tag you, @Kecessa
