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:

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.

Hate and wishing death are in fact dissenting opinions. You may not like it, but it’s true. Lies in an echo chamber will never be debunked and will only get stronger, but lies in the open will easily be debunked and disproven.
I’m sure there’s plenty of people that you hate because it’s a human emotion. I’m sure there may be people that you wish would no longer exist. I know one in particular that a lot of people would agree should just go away.
Fair point, let me adjust a bit: there’s a difference between hating someone for what he says or does, and hating someone for what they are.
As for lies in the open, I disagree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini’s_law The amount of energy it takes to debunk a lie is an order of magnitude bigger than it takes to post it…
You could easily just lean on the hitchens razor. What is posted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
