You have been nothing but polite, I wouldnt cvall you a dick at all. You just fell victim to misinformation and didnt take the time to check it.. Its not the best of things, but it happens.

Like I said, its nothing personal that im upset... I am more upset that after all these years people are still spreading these lies when its so easy to fact check it.

I have to say im a bit disgusted (not with you) that us taking a hard stance on protecting our members of the LGBTQ community from violence has been twisted and distorted, and blatantly lied about in an attempt to make us look bad.

When the vast majority of the fediverse were silencing the LGBTQ and they were migrating to us int he thousands I knew what we were doing was right... when those servers who lost their user base tried to distort and lie about the situation, evne as a minority, it hurt, but I did what was right anyway.

To actually see people years later buying those same lies when they are so easily debunked... that causes me to loose hope for humanity. You made no attempt to ask us about the situation or learn what the other side of the story was, talk about the features, understand why they arent privacy violating at all (they do not give you access to toots people dont give permission for you to see)... People need to do better, they need to fact check this nonsense rather than just get spoon fed and then repeat the disinformation again and repeat the nasty cycle.

Actually I take that back... ALL of it was a lie,... both kiwifarms AND Gab dont exist and cant be federated with... So at this point whoever told you what you just said is a complete lie, or at least, the block lists you keep seeing are lying.. we cant federate with something that doesnt exist.

@trinsec

@War_Kittens

Its also a bit of a lie.. first off the features we have are **not** in any way privacy or CoC breatking. Whoever told you that doesnt understand our features or was lying.

Second, Gab doesnt exist anymore and hasnt for some time, we cant federate with them. The only part that is true is that people can see post from kiwifarms, and we do this at the request of our LGBTQ community and for their safety. This is, in fact, one reason we are so popular throughout the fediverse, there was a large exodus of LGBTQ to our server in the early days specifically because of our rules to allow federation to other instances. They used this to be able to monitor violent accounts on those servers and use that to warn people in their community when their life is at risk, the same reason we added subscriptions.

Where are you getting the figure of us being on 126 block lists? I am not saying its inaccurate but I'd like to fact check that.

Regardless you have to understand of the block lists we are on the vast majority are servers with single or double digit counts of users, moreover those are servers that have **massive** and even abuse blocking practices, they often block servers for very silly reasons and being on any of those servers and you wont see the vast majority of the fediverse, even good actors.

@noelle As long as they are old enough to make responsible adult decisions (17ish plus) then I dont see the problem. At that point its no ones business but your own.

@noelle Funny that cash has exactly the same intrinsic value.... intrinsic value isnt the issue, lack of any checks and balances against exchanges is.

@taz What did I do wrong and how could I have done better?

@taz

Im not saying either of you are to blame, like i said i didnt read it.. im just asking you to both walk away and make up. Im too tired for this.

If you arent to blame then thank you for being the bigger man and walking away then.

@Pat @LouisIngenthron

@taz @Pat

Both of you, just be nice and walk away... I didnt read the convo, and if one of you needs me to as a moderator I will.. but I got too much shit to do, please just make up and walk away so i dont need to moderate yet another thing.
