To prove that i have no nefarious intent personally... all i want is a fair shake and to ensure others get the same (As you point out, protect against nazi's like snow)... I stepped down as the council member.. So I have no position of power of any kind... though i will continue to invest time to build it... people will continue their attacks.
No one bothers tohear my side though.. everyone blocked no one listed.. i hear people talking about how QOTO is a hot bed for right wing this or that, and hidden hate speech... yet these are the kinda of things our LGBTQ community here actually say (and what anyone would say if they took the time to look):
It’s strange to see so many folks on the #Fediblock side siding with the #Nazi snow when everybody outside of #Fediblock knew full well that he was a #Nazi and most of us never liked him
The more aggressive these people get over something that is in no way attacking anyone or evil the more convinced I am of its neccesity.
I tthink he was being silly about that.. go check out the merge, most people liked the wording. if you object we can always reverse it.
I got too good at avoiding humans and so I forgot how much they sucked.
Yes you are rright of course, at leastt online.. Ironically I am known for my mediating skills in person, they just dont translate to online apparently.
I'm ok with that, its why I stepped down and am happy to help on technical stuff.
No I agree with you, thats why i stepped down and handed it over to someone else but will happily continue to help develop it... looks rumous about me are bullshit, but either way they are still used as ammo, which makes me not the right person.
@satan
'forces'? You can leave anytime with no strings attached, not sure what's so forced about it?
Also I think most people look at this from the wrong perspective. It's more a guarantee that UFoI members aren't blocking each other, guaranteeing that there's at least a piece of the Fediverse communicating with each other. If you don't wish to partake in this, just don't join.
I think this is a more positive approach than shouting 'FEDIBLOCK! FEDIBLOCK!'
The core tennant of QOTO is to be respectful to people, always has been. Doubly so to members of marginalized groups... no one on QOTO will be making fun of you for anything.. they will, at worse, walk away rather than attack you.
As for the greater UFoI I am doing my best to pick instances to kick it off that will be respectful of others, as I said, instances you can be happy to interact with I hope.
Well if anyone from QOTO or the UFoI gives you any trouble about your "weird hog" (no idea what that is) just let me know and ill be happy to ask them not to...
FYI the hashtag itself doesnt return a single message other than the one in this thread... just saying.
@Phancypants rookie mistake :)
I dont even knnow what it is, so im not sure why it would come up, nor would i know how to avoid the subject if i dont know what the subject is you are asking me to avoid... Is hog some sort of slang term?
I dont know what youa re saying with this statement.. what is "your hog"what is "PhancysWeirdHog".. why would we end up talking about it? what does it have to do with left vs righjt or free speech?
I sincerely dont understand what your saying here.. im missing some context I guess.
