i think the fediblock people stopped calling me racist when i reminded them i'm latina and moved onto other targets

Trans women are used to cis people telling us we can't take up space, but our voices will be loud and disruptive until harm against us is treated with the same weight as other forms of oppression.

If you don't like it, listen to what we have to say and stop assuming bad faith in every criticism aimed at you. Your marginalization doesn't make you exempt from perpetuating harm against us.

You can block us, you can smear us, but you can't truly silence us, and that's what threatens you at the end of the day because you depend on social coercion and it doesn't work on the one group of people who tossed aside the need for cis approval.
The accusations that people "use queerness as a shield to defend white supremacy on fedi" just isn't a thing that actually happens.

What you mean to say is queer people are pointing out issues of abuse and you don't want to hear it.

hi support actually struggling queer latinas please

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)

holy shit i knew he was bad but i didn't think "grifting $1000 a month" bad

Shitposting to #fediblock is actually praxis because it has been a tool of abuse, lying, and gaslighting targeting primarily queer and trans users.

This is why people are making jokes in it and not taking it seriously, because it has not been used seriously.

Ro is now painting jorts users, a group of queer leftists, as white supremacists for posting jokes to a public tag. Ro is paid $1000 a month on his Patreon and individually sent even more to harass people this way, and he doesn't raise that money to assist others in mutual aid. It's purely for himself, while the rest of us struggle to pay for rent or food or medications as he paints us as bigots.

Marcia does the same thing, claiming intellectual property ownership over the fediblock tag, instead of treating the fediverse as a decentralized platform. She does this to demand financial compensation for use of the tag, and she takes trips to Europe with it for privilege most of us will never know.

These are not people aware of struggle, these are grifters piggybacking off the good nature of leftists to divide us, acting like COINTELPRO instead of calling for left unity against actually harmful actors. The abuse is never against fascists, they only target queer leftist fediverse users.

Recently they went on a harassment campaign against Kolektiva after doing so to Disqordia. Now they've moved onto Jorts. They will do the same thing to future leftist instances.

This behavior is disgusting and these grifters should be pushed out.

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

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

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
