Nah if people with crappy beliefs are posting content everywhere, that's just more avenues for those bad beliefs to seep out. I'd rather Lemmy loses contributors with those types of bad takes instead of groveling for content like there isn't enough already.
I agree, but I don't think that's this person. I also poked around their post and comments and I didn't get the feeling they were some rabid Proud Boy or whatever, and I would rather try to engage with people like Hurglet before the actual right-wing does.
I agree to some extent and think that defederation of instances that promote harmful viewpoints such as explodingheads and their users. For others I’d rather promote good behavior rather than engaging with them with a hostile attitude and let attitudes change organically. OP doesn’t exactly fit the bill of a proud boy but has one bad take. If someone wants to block him I understand but I’d rather change his mind
