My primary argument is that they post hateful content and covid conspiracies and it is irresponsible to platform this by including it in our federation. Secondly we already got rid of lemmygrad. Thirdly, there's little to be lost in the defederation given the type of stuff being posted over there. Do as thou wilt
Aye and nays pls
Edit: putting the screencaps I posted below here for clarity
I should probably put a content warning so
CW: homophobia, transphobia, and just being a shithead.
Edit 2: let's try not to downvote people just saying nay. Unless they are making bad faith arguments we should respect their opinions even if we disagree.
Edit 3: Imma be real with y'all, this has been a real shitshow. We gotta work out some kinda single voting infrastructure because the ayes and Nays isn't efficient at all.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you hate free speech, hate your own first and foremost and shut up.
Hate speech is not free speech.
Supreme Court disagrees with your claim. Hate speech is in fact free speech.
Speech that demeans on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any other similar ground is hateful; but the proudest boast of our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom to express “the thought that we hate.”
This is a Canadian server, hate speech, by law, is not free speech here. Fuck off back to the circus you clown
Real civil discussion you're having there bud
I don't really care to be civil with people like that.
I love how you showcase your intolerance by dropping the veneer of civility as soon as you sense any opposition.
I see no reason to be tolerant of someone justifying why they should be allowed to say slurs.
Sounds like bigotry to me.
Trash take, opinion discarded
Literal definition of bigotry, look it up, bigot.
The Supreme Court of Canada, where this instance is based, disagrees with the position of the U.S. Supreme court. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Keegstra. CANLII link here: https://canlii.ca/t/2bnwz
Thank you, some fucking reason for once.
Thank you, I did forget this is a Canadian instance. Unfortunately it's incompatible with even free-ish speech, much less free speech.
Free speech is when you insult Trans people and the more you insult them the freer the speech. /s
I disagree, but I'll leave it at that. Neither of us is likely to say something the other hasn't heard and I'm not in the mood to debate free speech and its reasonable limits for a well-functioning society today.
Given the apparent culture of the instance in question, a higher than average risk of Canadian criminal law being violated exists. Given the repeated request from sh.itjust.works admins that no activities be taken that risk violations of Canadian law on this instance, it stands to reason that the instance in question should be defederated from to limit the exposure to sh.itjust.works.
I have no opinion about people creating an account elsewhere and participating in defederated instances should this not sit well with them.
