Yup, and this is not new information. i've seen studies about this effect for at least a decade, probably more like 2 but time flies now

It's also top comment on the .social link

This may be unpopular but the marraige model was never good for women in the west, and Im glad we are free of it.

We were expected to be live-in bang-maid-mothers. Women were lobotomized during the 'golden 1950s' that some (often conservative men) worship.

I think I am starting to prefer a model where I live together in groups with friends/ family for protection and support.

yeah its been 'fun' talking about this on Lemmy and Reddit at the same time.

On reddit, I'm an anti-semite.
On lemmy, I'm a racist zionist.

In reality I understand the paradox of tolerance extends to fundamentalist abrahamic religions, which are all intolerant themselves, and therefore should not be tolerated.

because conservatives believe everyone thinks like them and are just scared to admit it

just need to preserve this line because its so spot on

No

I don't think they've been rule-breaking, I just think they're generally a bit heavy-handed with rhetoric / annoying

Tbf you guys do the r/conservative thing of banning dissenting opinions in your own spaces while making dissenting opinions/attacks 100% of your personality in others spaces. It's hypocrisy.

Also calling everyone a bigot doesn't help fight nazis, it helps nazis blend in with normal people by creating a huge club of people branded 'bigots' by your movement

I voted against defederation fwiw but my opinion is rapidly changing as I see how you conduct yourselves

[Discussion] Should we defederate exploding-heads.com? (Closing arguments)

Exploding-heads.com is another instance on Lemmy where alt-right MAGA types tend to reside. Some people on this server want us to defederate from them immediately, some people want to save defederation as a last resort. They have 104 active users (more stats below)....

I initially was against defederation. I went over there today and I've changed my mind. It's a trash heap of right wing extremist links. Dailymail, dailycaller, blaze, brietbart. It's every bit as ideologically motivated in the extreme right wing direction as lemmygrad is in the extreme left wing direction.

They are also calling for people to make alts and vote over here, so be aware. May want to check activity of posters when this vote finally goes down and check for low effort accounts that only voted and commented since today.

In the longer term, I'd like to see rules that define when we will defederate an instance so that we don't have to discuss it on an instance by instance basis. Or maybe we will want to have a grey area for discussion, and a red line that results in instant-defederation. Either way it'd be nice to have that info posted publicly.

FWIW it seems like exploding heads has plenty of content that would break rules, is generating more all the time, and their admin has no interest in moderating it

[Discussion] Limit the voting power of the Agora

As a more casual user that has chosen ShitJustWorks as his new home instance, I don't feel inclined to participate daily in the internal politics of this instance. Yet (semi) daily, the Agora seems to vote on issues that will affect me directly, such as defederating from instances the thread-starters deem to be harmful,...

Thanks for posting this. You've summed my concerns well. I've been active on agora (though mostly I have been posting in the logo topic) - but I've been doing it out a sense of needing the balance out the more motivated 'HOA' type users, who seems to be brigading around to an extent.

I really like all of your ideas but especially the voting needs to be done by comment upvotes or polls, instead of a chain of 'ayes' and 'nays' - and the votes needs to have clear rules about how long they run.

I get the sense that these things may be set after agora mods are in place. Thats just my assumption.

I also really think the agora community SHOULD NOT be able to target specific communities for defederation. Instead we should articulate rules that federated communties must adhere to, and auto defederate from communinities that are shown to break them. People aren't going to want to wait a month to be defederated from a gore instance or something like that.

The process is way too witch hunty as it is. It got very toxic very fast.
