Propoganda is not a genuine exchange of ideas, and users should not be subjected to hate and bigotry.

No, historically the most effective method is not giving them a platform to take advantage of in the first place.

Given I haven't actually looked into any of the material talked about in this post, is it possible they are not necessarily just ideas and instead demonstrably false misinformation.

If it's demonstrably false misinformation instead of ideas then yeah they should probably be defeaterated.

Those aren't ideas coming out of there. Ideas require conscious thought.

Not here though. This is not a free speech platform and we never claimed it was. We want to be a welcoming instance and those kind of discussions can be had somewhere else. Have a look at those instances that hide behind "free speech" just to be able to say terrible things. No thank you

A tolerant society cannot be tolerant of the intolerant. Hence, defederation it is!

And behavior should be fought with behavior.
