They're welcome to it.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the entire benefit of lemmy/piefed/etc... They can have their space, and any other instance can choose not to federate with them so we aren't forced to listen to them, unlike the alternative, where an algorithm forces them into everyone's face.

Rather than telling them they don't have the right to speak, we simply have the ability to shut our window and not listen to them.

Let them bitch at each other.

I disagree with them being welcome, if we have more fascists over here eventually we'll get overrun. Best to shut that door immediately.

I mean "welcome" in the most generic, passive aggressive Canadian sense of the word. Shutting the door is exactly what the strength of federated/defederated social media is all about.
