    With goals like that, I’m really not sure what you hope to accomplish. Even by not engaging with the topic, you still engage with him. Your stance doesn’t matter. On the black and white forum of lemmy, simply by replying, you’re disagreeing. Lines have been drawn and nothing said will do any good or change anyones mind on anything. You are still engaging in the culture war.

    Let the mods clean it up if he goes too far.

    I still think you’re both weird

      Thats one perspective, sure, and I am weird but I’m pretty ok with that. But anyway, I don’t think prohibition works for ideas and people that act like this tend to not be very happy people. It is worth checking in sometimes.

        Whilst I do believe in deplatforming, I wouldn’t call fediverse comment sections a platform.

        Checking in on concerning individuals and helping them realise that they’re being unkind, is an important but exhausting role in society - and it’s good if mods aren’t the only ones doing it!

        Parts of the fediverse are small enough of a community that you can give a helping hand to these people and break them out of their reactionary/propaganda bubbles.

        You’re helping to keep the community kind - thank you for doing it
