I would have been happy if she just accepts evidence that is agains her conclusions just so others who use the list have an informed decision rather than a very intentionally cherry picked set of "gotchas" with everything proving it to be a lie just hidden away.... shows a lack of integrity to say the least.
@freemo @toxomat @ceoln @PaulaToThePeople @SecondJon @shelenn It’s really disappointing that no one is interested in listening to unblocking qoto of those who are blocking us and delisting us. I think ample reasoning has been provided.
It doesn’t look like there is a solution and even though it unfairly affects us it’s their decision. Just wanted to register my disappointment.
I feel like they have adopted the right wing mantra that saying free speech is hate speech. Then it becomes a blank check to block any group of people you don’t like.
@derickflorian @toxomat @ceoln @PaulaToThePeople @SecondJon @shelenn The words "free speech" dont even appear in our ToS and we clearly moderate.
As for a solution in sight, i disagree, and many other instance admins and users are working together to create the #UFoI, this should be a counter force to this sort of nonsense.
Off on a tangent
ITs a shame people just listen for "dogwhistles" rather than bothering to understanding what someone might mean on a case by case basis and generalizing at all....

@freemo @antares @derickflorian @toxomat @ceoln @PaulaToThePeople @shelenn
I can take the tangent further... Is "dog whistle" a dog whistle? Is it further a dehumanizing phrase, othering those not on one's group to say they are inhuman, just animals that respond to signals?
More seriously, I do get concerned at the growing list of Forbidden Words deemed to be dog whistles. It's hard to keep up.

@freemo @derickflorian @toxomat @ceoln @PaulaToThePeople @SecondJon @shelenn I am so disappointed and frustrated that free speech that was such a core value of liberals and academics when I was in college c. 2000 has now become synonymous with hate and the alt right.
