You know, there'd be a whole lot less gish-galloping propaganda in the comments here if you were to defederate hexbear. Just sayin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hexbears don't bother me, but I seem to be bothering them quite a lot
Just saying, if you have Kbin nazis tempting you to defederate hexbear, you need to reevaluate how you're carrying yourself.
Just like with fascists though, it's better not to let them propagandize, even if you aren't personally triggered by it.
Eh half of them are just making asses out of themselves by going full mask off. I don't think they've had a great showing.
The quality of their arguments doesn't really matter though, nor does it matter whether they're able to convince a majority of people. What matters is that they can reach the few people that will find their overall presentation intriguing enough to merit further investigation, and then pull those people down the rabbit hole. It's the same strategy that fascists use, just red-flavored instead of brown.
It also makes the space overall less appealing to your actual target audience, which is a cardinal sin of online community management.
