I wouldn't forgive, but you could always give the veneer of forgiveness in order to get them on your side. It sounds machiavellian, but sometimes using cult tactics like love bombing against people who are susceptible to such tactics, as magats have shown to be susceptible to, is necessary for a better world. You don't have to forgive them in your heart.

    Supposedly a lot of the first people on lemmy were leftists and or tankies. My thing is though is that advocating for defederation weakens Lemmy, less communities to interact with, less content or posts to engage with, less people to interact with which cause echo chambers and hugboxes. Nor would I agree with defederating people just because they have views that I don't like or vehemently disagree with. As bad as some tankies are, they sometimes do make a few good points here and there.

    Even if used "correctly", it can still cause significant collateral damage. I wouldn't normalize even the use of tactical nuclear weapons, as it's only one degree of separation away from use on civilian centers. I can see the justification now...."(insert group) terrorists have set up tunnels underneath the civilian population center! We must nuke the city!"

    Now that the fascists have taken over, what books, academic studies, and pieces of knowledge should take priority in personal/private archival? I'm thinking about what happened in Nazi Germany, especially with the burning of the Institute for Sexual Science(Institut für Sexualwissenschaft) and what was lost completely in the burnings.

    Some of us should consider saving stuff digitally or physically.
