Everyone should have a voice to be honest. Shutting them out completely won’t help, it just creates a bubble. As a human species it’s important for us to communicate.
But yeah there’s definitely more of them here unfortunately.
I believe it to a degree, but I think it’s also a problem because we can’t ever change their minds if we’re not talking with each other. If they’re stuck in a hate-filled bubble, they’re only going to enrage each other further and accept each other’s biases.
It’s a different story if they’re attacking other people based on their own beliefs, then they should absolutely be banned from the platform. And if enough of that happens, then at that point de-federation should be the option (which I guess is probably the stage we’re at)
The pro china/Russia stuff is super weird. Also the hex bear goons brigading everything.
It’s very easy for bots and fascists to have a voice here unfortunately

Deplatforming harmful ideologies is shown to create a reduction in hate speech and harm overall.
Because of this, I am pro-defederation of hexbear. They can have a voice, sure, but it’s my choice if I want to listen

I mean good luck changing any their minds. They are heavily entrenched and quite overly aggressive.
