Some concrete examples of instances which we would defederate:
An instance which is focused on creating spam in the network

Why doesn't spamming authoritarian propaganda count? Better to have corporate ads than dictators' lies.

Having an opinion someone doesn't agree with doesn't make it invalid. I'm not an instance admin, so I have no say in who gets defederated, but in this community I welcome all opinions, no matter how popular or unpopular they might be.

People from democratic countries might call anything that doesn't agree with their world view a propaganda, yet on the flip side, countries from non-democratic countries might call anything that doesn't agree with their world view a propaganda. If we can't discuss our differences, then we are living in a bubble. If someone is never challenged, how can they refine their own position?

Rhetorical question to think about. Americans are likely to elect self-proclaimed authoritarian in the next election, should everyone defederate from instances that allow their opinions too?

In any case, this is not a place for this discussion. I would suggest making a post in !home.

According to the IDF's website, 44 of the soldiers killed in Gaza as of Wednesday - 15% of the total - died as a result of what it describes as "operational accidents".

This seems really high.

These Israeli soldiers must have been terrorists. I guess it's true what people say about IDF. They shoot anything that moves.
