I got interested in this #UFOI stuff lately and it makes my brain hurt and heart sink. What a drama on all sides.

I think it's a great example of #MastoAdmin silly games and feuds at the expense of users of these instances. An admin A does not like admin B and that is the reason for blocking thousands of users of B's instance from thousands of users of A. And that we call "moderation", right? Nice! (mind you, if B's users are ugly people in A's userbase opinion _en masse_, that's another story)

I even read from somebody that all what is wrong with an instance is that its users tend to be mildly annoying and that's a good reason to defederate the instance (https://witches.live/@anna/109480217595539880). Lovely. And that's how we want to become a better alternative to corporate social networks? Good luck boys and girls in the #MastoAdmin world! This way you only lose trust of us, the normal users of this network.

🤦‍♂️

Sincerely yours,

@FailForward I can recognise the normal users of this network, because they think the same way I do.

@wouldinotcallmyselfahumanbeing Good luck with that. But generally, a more useful heuristic (seems to me) would be to detect them by them clearly _not_ thinking the ways I consider harmful. Otherwise they are free to think as they wish - at least we can have a good argument then and life won't be boring.

@FailForward I can recognise the normal users of the network because they think the same things are harmful that i do.
