A bit over a month ago, a user posted in !main@sh.itjust.works to propose defederating from maga.place. That post was followed by a discussion in !agora@sh.itjust.works a week ago, which seems to have gained some traction. In response, we’re going to hold a vote on the matter. Voting will be open for one week, through Friday, November 7.
The Agora discussion post is here:
https://sh.itjust.works/post/48420886
Only sh.itjust.works accounts created prior to today (October 31) may cast a vote.
Vote by commenting either yes/aye/oui or nay/no/non.
Any further discussion should happen in the Agora post linked above.

VOTE RESULT
yes/aye/oui: 363
nay/no/non: 43
By my count, that’s 363 YES vs 43 NO.
That’s out of 416 top-level local comments.
The keen eyed will notice a discrepancy of 10 votes which were not counted by the query.Those were not counted for not being in the keyword list:

There’s also a duplicate yes vote from the same person_id, which I’ve removed.
202 comments weren’t even votes, the discussion goes in the other thread, folks.
24 comments from remote accounts were removed.That about sums it up.
Yes.
Yes
But: this is going against my belief to not create self-reinforcing echo chambers. I truly believe it’s better to meet them and challenge their (rather stupid) opinions, but MAGA has just gone too far for me to even bother trying.
No
I haven’t experienced any issues from their users, nor have I seen any evidence of their users causing problems. IMO, defederation should only happen if working w/ their admins to deal with their users who cause problems doesn’t work, not because we disagree with content on their instance.

Yes. Tolerating intolerance only leads to more intolerance; death to fascist ideology.
yes
Yes
