can't wait to get a whole new generation of newly minted fediheads to hate me

re: people bringing Twitter bullshit to fedi, summary (dogwhistle equating lesbians with pedophiles) 

@Tathar i'm glad to be living rent-free in the minds of people i had never even seen before, thx for the update nonetheless

I trust responsible instance admins to do their due diligence regarding anything posted on the hashtag, but I don't trust the mob of dogpiling harassers who are just looking for a fight all the time and patrol the hashtag to find it.

my website is literally maple.pet if you think my (now deceased) twitter handle "maplesbian" meant anything else that's on you bud

@Tathar fam my website is literally maple.pet if you're making that mistake that's on you

@Tathar LOOOOOOOL

re: people bringing Twitter bullshit to fedi 

@Tathar ha lol i can't even open the first link

tl;dr a lot of people in the fediverse still have a bone to pick with me simply because i didn't let them win all the way back in april 2017 when i started this instance

lotta people asking for specific instance admins to "please be responsible in your adminning" re: a hashtag (not any form of formal or official tool, imo, and you can disagree) being "misused" but when the same hashtag blocked this entire instance off from a bunch of others because of an instance admin's personal feud against me specifically nobody batted an eye ok

jorts.horse seems like an extremely cool instance i may get an alt there if i find myself in need of one

#fediblock discussion 

Apart from the technical reasons, it's also just.. toxic. It takes Twitter's horrible culture of dogpiling people based on made-up justifications and applies it to the Fediverse. It ensures that every tiny mistake results in a massive argument (which never does any good, it just hurts everyone who gets involved) and the blocking of entire instances.

This makes Fediverse a less safe and welcoming place for everyone.

I'm not even mentioning the fact that many of the people who were targeted this time are queer and/or disabled.
This is not a coincidence. This kind of "canceling" often harms people who are more vulnerable and don't have a massive platform the most. That's just how it works.

i have also been here since april 2017 folks

computer fairies was founded in april 13 2017

i've been pushed out of my own space because i wanted to be friends with the wrong people, apparently, literally it was a personal spat with a bigger instance admin which turned into "ooo this person is a mad abuser"

i wanted rhys to be my friend, not to be ghosted and belittled by them

i don't think that's too abusive to ask for, in a personal environment

that's the danger of

70% of the won't even see my posts after what happened in september 2020 i'm not worried
