In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

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:

Fascists don't believe in free speech. MAGA is fascist.

There you go.

Edit: Also, upvotes and downvotes on Lemmy quite literally are votes for or against a comments contribution to the discussion. Looks like you're wrong, on multiple fronts.

No, people quite lierally downvote what they disagree with, and that’s fine. You could comment that the earth is round in a flat earth forum and be downvoted. Doesn’t make you wrong. Not that hard to grasp….

We both know that comment was a worthless waste of bandwith. You don’t need to admit it.

Let’s talk more when you’re ready to have a meaningfull exchange. Enjoy your weekend!

Hmm, you're getting very pressed after being challenged for defending fascists. You got something you want to admit to the class?

[–] Bronzie@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeeeey, finally you got to say what you wanted to all the time! Fascist!!!

Mate, I know your type. You're sad and lonely IRL, so you throw hate around you online to feel something resembling self worth. You repulse people IRL so the safety of echo chambers online makes you feel like like you belong.
You are part of the reason why Trump won, you just don't understand it.

I don't judge you, I pity you.
I also know you are as bad to deal with as the MAGA crowd, so I'm going to block you and move on with my life. Hope you can find some peace and love in your life.

None of what you've said in this comment is true, and in true conservative fashion — every accusation is a confession.
