@freemo is Qoto on Leonie's whitelist, do you know?

I am getting some errors in Pinafore connection.

@design_RG I am fairly certain we are on their whitelist, I was talking to Leonie just yesterday.

I'd be very surprised if that changed.

@freemo Thank you, I would think so too; I w there earlier and found out then; she added another instance at my request too.

@freemo It might be a hiccup or her system going off due to DOS. 😔

@design_RG could be. these fediblock folks are crazy, putting all their energy into the wrong places.

@freemo @design_RG isn’t that kinda the mo of these she types though? Putting energy into the wrong place?

@Locksmith

I dont know what "she types" means, if your implying its women going around blocking anyone because women are emotional or some shit... no, I dont like that implication at all.

@Locksmith @design_RG ahh, yea I suppose.. but its a bit circular.. sjw doesnt really mean anyone fighting for social justice as the name implies. Its a term given in negative context mostly to people who take it to absurd levels, to the point that it goes beyond social justice.

Presuming thats how you meant it then its a bit of a circular argument.

I do know plenty of people who fight strongly for social justice and are very reasonable in their approach and do some real good too.

So i guess its just a question of definitions and what sjw means to you whether im going to agree with that or not.

@freemo @design_RG I’m not trying to get into the definition of sjw, just using it as a shorthand descriptor. The kind of person that would disown family over basic political disagreement.

@Locksmith

I would think sometimes there's power tripping, involved. One of the people who is quite active in that bandwagon runs a very small instance, but gets attention, etc. His blocked list is likely 10 times the size (number of lines versus number of users compared). And I joked about that in private.

Have lived in different networks over time, and there's always some strange, many times negative and destructive behaviour draining down energy that could be used to improve things.

Currently they seem to be enjoying that route.
