There are people in the Fediverse,
like, apparently,
@andrewt,
for whom the following picture from de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnothi_s
must under no circumstances be posted without a Content Warning:

@freemo
I may have gone full Greta Thunberg on
@andrewt
"How dare you … ?!?"
and gotten a bit technical:

i.e.,
ιδιώτης:
someone who doesn't want to participate in the open, public, discussion, but prefers to defederate from anyone who have a view of reality (or, in fact several simultaneous views of reality in its full ambiguity) that don't affirm one's own.

@freemo
Looks like @andrewt
is modeling the passive-aggressive hate speech pattern perfectly:
declare YOUR OWN idio[syncra]cy as "how everybody sees it" and declare any deviating standpoint unacceptable free speech.

We can't afford NOT confronting this deliberate kind of reality distortion.

@andrewt
Your arrogant claim that *your* highly idiosyncratic personal view of
@freemo
is what he looks like to *everyone else* is Hate Speech of the worst, namely passive-aggressive, kind.

How *DARE* you imposing your own prejudices on everyone else?!?

@freemo @jens
I was being

about that.
Check if you even find the easter egg when you look at

As for the relevance of Marxist references to the @ufoi affair:
"i don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member"

@freemo @ufoi
As for the comment of @atomicpoet
further upthread:
"4/ Unfortunately, a lot of instances signed up for UFoI because, from a cursory glance, it looks like they have good intentions.

But because they're now associated with UFoI -- even if briefly -- they are now indiscriminately on Fediblock.

This is guilt by association.

And unfortunately, too many instance admins block everything that winds up on Fediblock without investigation.

This isn't being proactive, it's being reactive and lazy."

@Pat @freemo @EubieDrew @ufoi
He's standing up to a cabal of folks who want to turn the Fediverse into their ideological echo chamber, and will try to ban anyone that contradicts them as polarizing.

@freemo @Ryle @ufoi
The part of the community that always wills that their idiosyncratic sensibilities shall be made the basis of a general law.
More specifc rules from your side don't provide protection; it's all about their rules, anyhow.

@freemo Can you opt out of being called?
If so, cold calling once could be considered legit.
