    I think I agree. I’m uncomfortable with the idea of going too far, too fast in defederating from servers which have people whose views some users here find objectionable. There are some cases where it’s fairly clear-cut, and I’d feel comfortable. Outright fascists and MAGA servers. Bot-farms. Ones designed to disseminate disinformation and fake news.

    If their users are interacting with us in ways which are hostile, disruptive, etc. then we should defederate, obviously. Though that will only go so far given open registrations.

    But this server is not, as far as I’m aware, intended to be of a specific political hue, nor primarily about politics. So, I think we should be cautious and careful, partly because I’ve seen ‘tankie’ used to describe such a wide range of views, often with very little in common between them.
