I got interested in this 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 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 (witches.live/@anna/10948021759). Lovely. And that's how we want to become a better alternative to corporate social networks? Good luck boys and girls in the world! This way you only lose trust of us, the normal users of this network.

🤦‍♂️

Sincerely yours,

"Annoying reply guy"

> flagrant bigotry as the bar for intervening to protect vulnerable people from a poorly run instance

🤦‍♂️

Can you spot the circles?

It took me a long time. Once you see them, they'll seem obvious.

@freemo and on top, now I sent you a DM and I do not see it in the DM "timeline". What's going on?
