I was browsing through /all and had the misfortune of finding a transphobic post from the site. Blocked user and community but if that's an indication of what they're putting out, hard pass on the rest of it.
Genuine apologies, as that's not my intent.
We've had what has seemed (to me) an influx of just really bad faith and downright trolling type stuff going down recently and it's perhaps colored my take on things more than I realized, and it probably has for others as well.
We really did just come here for the chill vibe, read the thing, and were like "yeah, this works for me."
Other things may get added to that block list in the future, yes. I pointed you to the Agora because you may not, as a new user, be aware of it, as the Dude set it up as the place where these kinds of decisions will most likely be made in the future and where community discussions tend to be focused.
However, as a Canadian based instance, they have different laws on what does and doesn't put them at risk, so there are times where those calls may be his and his to make alone (which is why there are two where there was only one on the list of defederated).
You're asking a person with a day job who is doing a cool thing for the fediverse community and set up a community in sh.itjustworks (Agora) to handle these possible future blocks to give you a granular breakdown of the blocking of one instance in a justification they don't really owe you.
The community itself is trying to be chill and just vibe. If what we're doing fits what you're looking for, welcome.
This is the way.
"Shit just works", but that's just because I came here when others were overwhelmed, so...
Figured I'd stop lurking and pay my first cat tax. Not sure if I did this right but we'll see!
Yeah, you're not winning points by becoming aggressive with the people who you want on your side.
This isn't Reddit, and that's kind of the point. I do want higher standards here and the way to make your point is with words, not slurs.
Bring receipts. Link posts if that's your thing, screenshots if you want.
I took a screenshot of what and who I found objectionable, which I am willing to share, however I won't post it publicly because it's (to me) hate speech.
