Tbh i was looking forward to engaging in some debate with them.

did they break any actual rules or is it just because they're MAGA?

Edit: Before you angrily comment below (as so many have done so far) please keep in mind that this is a feddit.uk meta community and i am specifically asking the question to feddit.uk mods/admins and inviting discussion from feddit.uk users.

if you are not a feddit.uk user then this entire conversation DOES NOT AFFECT YOU. ~~I have yet to hear from anyone who actually is a feddit.uk user~~ Admin response here

Intolerance for the intolerant does not have to be enforced with defederation, and unless their users are actively causing problems outside their instance or they are hosting illegal content i would argue shouldn't be enforced with defederation.

I am of the opinion that the better way of dealing with these types is speaking to them, and challenging their points. you might not be able to convert the ones already there, but you can present the other side of the argument to others who have yet to be sucked in.

They have a grand total of 19 users. it's not like they're not vastly outnumbered. Shutting them off and not challenging their views will only lead to them growing

Can't tell if you're a flag-waver or just naive.

Their whole identity is an offense to humanity.

yup, and their numbers continue to grow

recoiling in disgust whenever one opens their mouth just seems to feed into their victim complex
