Folks on the birdsite are going wild after I shared this absolutely legendary response to a Nazi by @Gargron

I'll take this guy over Musk any day!

@Alex
I understand your point of view, but I think this approach does you a disservice: not seeing them any more in order to remain "among ourselves", among civilised, open (except to nauseating ideas), multiculturalist people, etc... does not prevent them from recruiting. Calling them Nazis when they are convinced that it is a permanent Godwin point will not make them question themselves.

@Gargron @Alex @JulienD if you feel like your life’s mission is deprogramming cult members then you do you; most of us just don’t want to engage with them on a daily basis.

@mariusz
I don't see that as a life's mission, I just mean isolating them is not efficient.
Other social networks (Twitter, Facebook), accentuate the social bubbles, mastodon does worse by being fully hermetic.
I think we should just be able to choose if we want to see only people who share our point of view, or also people with who we could have strong disagreements.
@Gargron @Alex

@Gargron @JulienD @Alex you’re welcome to join an alt-right instance if you want to get exposed to them. That’s the magic of federation.

@mariusz
This is caricature. Not wanting them to be hidden doesn't mean I would like to spend all my time with them.
Especially since joining an alt-right instance would isolate me from "normal" people.
Please try to answer to my point of view and not to the straw man you're making out of it.

@JulienD @mariusz @Gargron you can always start your own instance that doesn't defederate. Complaining doesn't make sense, nobody has ultimate authority here.

@Alex
As I said, I understand your point, I disagree (not a big deal), creating my own instance is not a solution, closing your eyes is just an illusion.
