Got called a fascist by a Biden supporter for..... saying I support Biden?

Lesson of the day: Sometimes you just need to take a deep breath, put your phone down, and remind yourself that you simply cannot win on social media.

Trying something new! If you can reblog this or check it out that would truly mean the world to me!!
I always write to arrange my mind around complexities. Healing, strengthening. This is my life. I'm incredibly annoying to many and I'm learning to like it, hope to find people to be annoying with, those who won't alter their views to fit in. This is my first ever blog post.

@cihuapilli @BlueDot @freemo@mastodon.acm.org @wild1145 @BobMastodon @oliphant how is this relevant to the conversation, please?

My current interpretation is that you personally have strong opinions about @freemo's attitude. Neither of this has any relationship to the rules (I welcome corrections to this interpretation). Given what I've seen, my expectation is to be also blocked for this comment. Not a problem, but this is between individuals, not a matter of instance policies.

@freemo @BlueDot @wild1145 @BobMastodon @oliphant
It's sad that when your instance grows, you need to deal with people who unable to do due diligence. Because they are ruining experience of YOUR instance users 🤦

@freemo

These dots connect in my observation over time.

And we're done.

@freemo @wild1145@universeodon.com @wild1145@mastodonapp.uk I wonder if people unwittingly join instances like that or mstdn.social, get bored by the weird performative echo chamber, then write off Mastodon and go back to Twitter or whatever.

@freemo are you sure it's worth the trouble and your nerves? these blocklists are their own demise after all. as you wrote, those instances tend to bleed users ;)

@wild1145

Have you considered instead of being lazy and trying to avoid moderating your server properly and literally admitting to refusing to do due diligence... maybe you should consider I dont know, moderating your server and if need be promoting enough moderators to do so? Crazy idea huh.

If you dont have time capacity or money to hire moderators then do a good enough job people are willing to volunteer their time because they believe in the community.

I am a horrible moderator because I dont have the time is pretty much your excuse here, and its a bad one.

> My choice to use the list was based off months of reviewing the list and the way it was curated, and the fact it can't be swayed by one or even two of the instances's ban lists that contribute towards it.

Factually wrong. Each list contributes a vote to the final list, meaning every block list sways the final output.

The fact that the list of servers which constitute the list are themselves **highly** abusive and noted for such in some cases (such as mastodon.art being one of a small number of master lists) is exactly why it is abusive and negligent of you to support it. Any block list where mastodon.art doesnt just get a vote but is part of a hand selected small list of master lists which literally define the list... no sorry but that is absolute negligence on your part.
