Not accepting intolerance isn’t being a dictator. Plus you can just switch instance if you don’t agree with it’s moderation.

The whole point of federation is shit communities can be dropped if they don’t match up with your instances ideals.

The instance admins don’t want the hassle of moderating content from bad instances and it’s totally up to them.

If people don’t like it they can move. No Biggie.

Or your instance can defederate instances that go against their principles (the whole point of defederation) and you can create an account on the other.

Homophobia, transphobia and racism do in fact cause real harm. There’s no need for it.

I don’t care if some uneducated idiot is stuck 30/40 years in the past mentally.

I gain absolutely nothing by hearing it and don’t care what they think.

Not full of hateful losers != Sterile lol

The big advantage of federation is that shit instances can be removed. It’s one of the big selling points. If an instance wants to allow hateful trash they do so at the risk of being cut off.

I saw a post the other day saying our boomer like trait will be not being able to recognise AI generated content.

Our kids are going to think we’re idiots.
