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
people bringing Twitter bullshit to fedi
I saw this targeted against you personally. I looked way deeper into it than I'd expect an instance admin to, and didn't find so much as a corroborating accusation. The OP made it up whole-cloth. https://toot.cat/@CollectiveOracle/109624922724255766
And we're both on this list, presumably because we're both seeing that the tool, that was intended to protect against abuse, has been exploited to abuse folks (and their instances as collateral damage) that a handful of people have a personal beef with. https://jubi.life/@sixthhokage95/109629776258958990
TL;DR the intentions behind the hashtag were noble but people are abusing it, and "only bad admins don't do due diligence" leaves out that there are too many bad admins out there.

@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
re: people bringing Twitter bullshit to fedi, summary (dogwhistle equating lesbians with pedophiles)
The gist of it was they capitalized the first three letters in "maplesbian" and accused you of pedophilia.

@mavica_again
I see they eventually deleted the post. When I brought it up in my post reflecting on it, it was still up.
