NEW GAB INSTANCE: New Gab organized, and Gab software hosted site to investigate https://djitter.com/about/tos. #blocklist #Gab
@isolategab
Great idea. Leave the extremists where we can't see what they're doing. Where they aren't exposed to reason and common sense.
Really a grrrrrreat idea.
Not.
@Augur Anyone can go see what they are up to without federating them. Takes seconds.
@isolategab
People are lazy. Otherwise people wouldn't create, and isolate within, their own filter bubbles. Federated, they're exposed to us, and we to them.
Exchange, growth and understanding can not exist in isolation, whether it is voluntary, or not.
Grow up.
"Why don't you grow up and provide a massive platform for hate speech for free"
@mlubert
They have a platform. But if they are blocked, they aren't exposed to challenging worldviews. The extremism spural only goes downward from there on out...
@isolategab
@Augur @isolategab "Challenging Worldviews"
Ohhh, you're one of the naive "if we just provide FACTS to the bigots, they'll change their ways"
No, they've made their minds up and aren't likely to change. It's been repeatedly shown that's the case. If you want your instance to be a one-person army trying to convert idiots one by one, have at it. But you can't complain when people who know what these hate-mongers are capable of decide to cut them first.
What evidence do you have this djitter has any "bigots" in it? You're sterotyping a random server based on its skin
