The instance seems to be mostly right wing trolls. I know defederating is unpopular but I don’t think much is to be lost in this case and it can save the mods some headaches.

      If they don’t know what they’re doing, it should be easy to prove them wrong and make them look silly. You can also try to argue via emotions.

          What a poor argument. They want to be in their echo-chamber.

          We should encourage those who are brave enough to wander outside of it.

              The problem being that the majority of them wander out to share the same opinions, not to have their mind changed and that leads to radicalisation when their message reaches people that are sensible to it but that are still on the fence.

              ommmgg, you’re making my point but you’re not even realising it. We should engage with them when they move out of their safe-spaces because then those on the fence see how stupid the alt-righters are.
