I don't think we were talking about the same thing. You're talking about restricting your behaviour, "focus on your niche", "stay away from propaganda media". My proposal was to use an instance which makes it unecessary for you to restrict yourself to certain areas, if their moderation policy aligns with your default behaviour.
Of course it ultimately comes down to similar things, since instances which do not care wether you're nice aren't allowed in all places which require you to be nice. The key difference is still that you don't have to be wary yourself. It sounded as if you would not like that.
Yes, we might be talking in parallel. It's true i might be on the wrong side of the fence since i expect that even the hateful deserve their chance to speak, at least until they become irremediable. And i do disagree with this safe space isolative behaviour. Perhaps you are correct and i should instead visit those, and i'm paraphrasing, 'bigotry-infested phobic hellholes' for a while and see what's what.
Thank you.
