I saw that a post was made in !main@sh.itjust.works about defederation about a month ago, an admin commented to make a post here to discuss defederation, but the post was never made.

https://maga.place/ is very obviously a small community with no real substance to it, but I saw an antivax post to !science_memes@mander.xyz and was surprised it still exists.

Anyways I don't really have a lot to say but uh, I recently hit a full year on this great instance ๐Ÿ˜Š (old account @TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works)

But my issue is how does one debate someone who doesn't care about truth or debate regulation or debating in good faith at all? All they do is bowl over people and that just makes them more confidently wrong.

I know you're not arguing that we should remain federated with them, im just curious why you enjoy debating them because I get so frustrated and I'd much rather not raise my blood pressure unnecessarily so I just don't get it lol. It feels like a losing game.

    I understand you 100%, it can be frustrating and is something I do rarely. When I decide to do it is because I already feel frustrated by the situation people like them are creating and I release some of that frustration by debating them. Maybe the person that you debate doesnt care about the truth as you said, but maybe other people reading the conversation do. You dont have to debate them until the end, just to contradict them from time to time to break the illusion that everybody agrees with them.
