Every censorship-enjoyer loves talking about the Paradox of Tolerance. Here’s the part Popper said that they like to gloss over:

I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise.

I honestly thought libertarian was the more flattering descriptor

Yeah, so do they - that’s why they try to co-opt the term lol

I never said they were equivalent.

Comma separation implies a list of traits (users are both r/thedonald users and libertarian) whereas or/and would imply that libertarians and r/thedonald users both exist in the instance

What term would you use to describe their users?

Conservative/MAGA fits the majority of the content a lot better

If you genuinely think libertarians are equivalent to r/thedonald posters, you have no clue what you’re talking about. Which is why defederating based on politics is stupid.

Not the prettiest instance, but have they caused any real trouble outside of their own instance? Not much of a fediverse if we just defederate from instances that lean different politically. Especially seems like a weird move to go defederating on other instances this early given y’know, that we just got defederated from beehaw because of one misbehaved asshole.
