I agree. A bad opinion/agenda that is denounced with logical reasoning and compassion will do far greater good than simply censoring. The potential future followers of that bad opinion/agenda would maybe be swayed by a superior view point if they saw the majority of comments were opposed to it.

Dealing with a bad opinion is vastly different than platforming hate, abuse, or racist turds. These people who perpetuate this don't have any logic or reasoning to debate and defederation isn't censorship, it's healthy.

I thought it was generally somewhat studied that we're already at a point where correcting bad actors isn't enough anymore, as they can spread much faster than humanity has resources to be on top of it with right information. Deplatorming seems to be the currently suggested praxis.
