Democracy is built on discourse of opposing views. If we just censor all opposing views, then what the fuck is even the point?

There's about as much discourse here as rival football hooligans having it out in the streets. A lot of violence but it doesn't really change the score. What's the point of talking when no one's listening?

Defederation is not censorship. All it means is that nobody on that instance wants to hear your bullshit, and are showing you the door. You're able to make an account on another federated instance if you wanted to hear those vitriolic, harmful people.
