@isolategabGreat idea. Leave the extremists where we can't see what they're doing. Where they aren't exposed to reason and common sense. Really a grrrrrreat idea.Not.

@isolategabPeople are lazy. Otherwise people wouldn't create, and isolate within, their own filter bubbles. Federated, they're exposed to us, and we to them. Exchange, growth and understanding can not exist in isolation, whether it is voluntary, or not. Grow up.

@isolategabWhen you block them / their entire instance, guess what they see? Jack all. Through exposure and conversation can views be changed. Not through stubborn "I don't like what you have to say, talk to the hand!" idiocy.

@mlubertThey have a platform. But if they are blocked, they aren't exposed to challenging worldviews. The extremism spural only goes downward from there on out...@isolategab

@mlubertDo you think there's just the fuckers with the made up mind on there? There's plenty of people who are not entirely made up, just leaning towards that, there. Like with antivaxxers. @isolategab

@isolategabI don't see what people are up to on instances that have blocked an instance I'm on. Sooo....no.

@mlubertTerror Attacks? This sort of "argument" says everything about your closed minded narrow views than theirs. You are the kind of person you warn others about: An extremely narrow minded individual with an agenda and an unwillingness to even acknowledge a differing view, let alone change your mind. Facts are as foreign to you as to a flat earth antivaxx fascist. @isolategab

@isolategabI'm on also an instance that isn't very liked. (No. Not Gab.)Many instances blocked that instance. I don't see anything from them there...

@isolategabWhen these terrorists post there. And that is in an enclosed little bubble. Nothing gets prevented.If the world sees. Apprehension can take place. @mlubert

@mlubertI hate racism. I debate fascists. But I don't think that isolating them is the right way. If I see some shithead planning a terror attack - be it a fascists/racist, a leftist, a religitard, what ever - I take action to try and prevent it. If the Fediverse just collectively plugs their ears everytime a GABer opens their mouth, it minimizes our chances of catching those who plan such shit...@isolategab

@mlubertMore eyes see, more is seen, more is known. You still don't get it, do you? Here we have an access point. Where we can find the extremists and the terrorists to keep watch on, and those on the fringes to convert.If gab it's blocked all around, if gab is destroyed even, they'll retreat. Fringes are lost in a rabbit hole, extremists are unchecked... That's not a reason to celebrate, that's dangerous...@isolategab

@jimpjorpsI get it. You want 'safe spaces'. There's no such thing. You interact with other human beings, with thoughts and ideas of their own: there is no safe place on earth, or this universe. But I get it. And I respect that. I also get (and respect!) that you want to at least shield you from what shit you can. Doesn't change my mind though...@isolategab

@isolategabJust out of curiosity, it's it possible that "silence" and "block" got confused in this piece?Essentially what I'm saying is that, since they're here, we can as well listen to them. Take the wind out of their sails. Expose them to a differing opinion/worldview. Blocking them does NONE of that, except making those who block, SEEM (!) close minded and unwilling to dialog...@miro

@isolategabI have to take that to the bank, but will keep my eyes open, because something seems off here...Taking the wind out, in the sense of listening to their "concerns" and then refuting them, while giving them the impression that we take their concerns serious.Let us agree to disagree. I'm not advocating in favor of Gab and the radicals there, but to take them serious enough not to ignore them. @miro

@BrodieOnLinux dear gods, I'm old. If such a pic exists of me, you'd see Win3.11 or 95, a CRT you could use to bludgeon a cow to death with one blow...and the picture would be physical not digital...

In case you were wondering where the frak I am (again), there's a new addition to the family. His name is Luigi, he is a mixed breed, and loves listening to the ISS in orbit (just look at his ears!).Sadly I haven't had time to #draw recently, but I'm confident that'll change again in the near future. :)#dogsofmastodon #dog #dogs
