i have been unable to get a job since april of last year (if you have an opening for a frankly pretty damn good software engineer with 8+ years professional experience give me a call)
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.
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 #fediblockmeta
#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 #fediblock
70% of the #fediverse won't even see my posts after what happened in september 2020 i'm not worried
recommend to #fediblock gargron@mastodon.social for creating this monster
extremely "get off this frequency, civilian" vibes coming from [checks notes] other civilians
also: how many people complaining about the hashtag being "misused" are actually instance moderators who use it as an actual tool? and how many of them are just raising hell for hell's sake
let's break kayfabe for a minute:
have you considered: personally blocking each person you don't like for "spamming" "the" #fediblock hashtag, instead of rallying for "your" benevolent leaders to cut all ties with the entirety of the realm of "their" wicked despots and causing a rift in the propagation of the utopia that is decentralized federated microblogging posts
or do you just want to punish people
#fediblock mastodon.social for lack of moderation
