Yea he lied, claiming I harassed him. I show pictures of our conversations in full showing what he claimed was "haassment".. Judge for yourself but I think everyone agrees it was exceedlingly nice and considerate instead:
I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

@zleap I agree, though i would say tthat has always described us, its hardly anything new. But yes I agree.
For the record I have no issue with any instance that wants to block for well informed reasons. I will say tech.lgbt is just generally a bad choice since they have been known to lie in this regard and generally are very toxic and mistreat many of their own members.
The other instances there are good choices though.
@lazzarello Congrats! You rock
FYI, here is the full conttext behind that thread:
@Lizerreal There still are :)
Just make the changes on the TEX and when it gets approve the new pdf will compile and get hosted automatically
I hold the philosophical position that if two things are indistinguishable, their difference is irrelevant.
"What if we live in a simulation?" -- irrelevant
"What if you couldn't tell the difference between taking to a computer and a real person?" -- irrelevant
But more precisely, it's begging the question to say "imagine something was indistinguishable, now how would you treat it differently???"
@Squirrel What do you normally see in the news column? Maybe they are using a feature that is not part of the open ActivityPub standard (vanilla mastodon sometimes does that, but rarely)
@Squirrel News I think is news from the app developer.. what app are you using, I dont think that even has to do with the server but im not sure off hand.
Federation happens automatically. I am not sure if they have us blocked or not. There are a lot of extremist servers that are very aggressive with blocking and block most of the fediverse. I am not sure if this is one of them as I never heard of that server. It is best to ask the administrator or if you have a friend there to have them ask.
A month ago I became #NewOnMastodon, still learning, but liking it more and more here.
As an #EarthSystem scientist I am fascinated about the #CarbonCycle, especially in the #ocean and how we quantify it with Earth System #models in past, present, and future climates.
#ClimateChange is essentially a #CO2 problem. It is virtually impossible to be a #ClimateScientist without becoming deeply concerned about #ClimateEmergency.
Watch this space for my extended #IntroductionPost.
I am with you @f3ttt , if I find a troll, I block it. I too have never been subject to big attacks but may be my use is very limited or use case is different from those who have faced such harrasment and there must be good reasons for such actions.
I believe some thing are best left to the choice of individuals who are using the medium. Another good server you can find where they allow good sense and good science to thrive is qoto.org tagging
May want to try it out.
