A lot of subreddits are banning/proposing to ban X links in response to Führer Elon’s wonderful gesture of love and tolerance. Should this instance follow suit?

Also, Instagram/Threads/Meta links. Same question.

Things that aren’t Nazis might be a good stopping point

The way I see it, the slippery slope that we’re currently on is tolerating nazis and bigots.

Was presented with this question. Lets simplify it and remove the spin.

Are you ok with your enemy using the software you've published?

I quickly answered, yes! It's open source. This must include enemies

Similar to free speech, censorship aside, if not willing to defend essholes being essholes then don’t really have free speech

Linus Torvalds slipped, tossing Russian maintainers. Politicizing open source makes it open for some, but not for others.

Which is a real dilemma cuz i hate everyone equally

To answer your question, the fediverse welcomes Nazi fascists commis gays whatever running instances. If don’t like the instance moderators can always jump on another instance. And instances owners do not federate with instances they don’t like.

… and the world goes on just fine

You could just go on X if you feel like it, no ones stopping you. I dont know why anyones surprised a ‘ML’ website doesnt want to host content by the literal richest person on the planet who just seig heiled on a TV multiple times.
