Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

Aye

Honestly, in general, I do not like the vigilante justice that is taking place here, but I have to acknowledge that agora is being setup a bit too slowly to deal with things that might have huge ramifications later. The vacuum of power is a problem.

As far as I can tell one user has drawn a lot of negative attention to our entire instance and that puts the hard work of others at risk

So, although I feel I have fallen short of my conviction to protect others speech as much as I would want my own protected, Im going aye this time in this case.

I'm with you there.

I'm not a big fan of the idea in general, but this isn't a case that we're disrupting a community who is trying to be legitimate, if right leaning, and follow the rules. It's literally a single poster and their comment history is a series of troll comments.

On top of that, the community name chosen is a lightning rod for criticism and there's no way that this poster would not know that.

They're not here to engage with the community in good faith. They're trolling and staying just within the instance rules to further muddy the waters.
