EDIT: no, I don't sympathize with nazis (neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're loosing an argument ;)
Someone doesn't like the movies you like? Blue button

Someone starts talking about how (((they))) own the banks and run the world? Red button
@w00t How about you join an instance where the admins agree with this?
i already understand them and i dont give a fuck about discussing in an online forum
Yes. If they want to do that shit they can do it somewhere else. Hell, take it to Facebook.
Many instances have shit like hexbear federated, but have explicit rules on the side saying "no tankie shit". make it make sense.
Kindness doesn’t work with people who don’t respect your right to exist
What's cool about the fediverse is that we get to choose.
Do I want to be in an instance that federates with everyone, good and bad?

Or do I want to be in an instance that defederates on a whim?

Personally, debate I've had that was insightful was generally in good faith to begin with, and would be allowed on platforms like Beehaw, so I don't see much use for "anything goes" kinds of platforms. Additionally, I'm not always in the mood for debate. I can just switch between different instances depending on my mood. Given that everyone can choose their instance, I don't see much of a reason for trying to federate with everyone.
I haven't seen much in the way of actual debate, more 'soviets good west bad, da comrade!'
There's nothing to be gained from arguing with crazies and naive college students. Had my fill of those types on reddit. Now I point and laugh until I get too annoyed and I'll find a new instance
