Dear Mastodon users: I'm not making a single one of my users leave, nor can you force me to do so. Have a nice day!
-
@verius @purplehippo Yes, I saw this in overnight posts directed at @sim
-
@verius @purplehippo Maybe they need you to develop one for Mastodon.
-
@sim They're not silencing you, they're just telling you to shut up :^)
-
@purplehippo @verius That kind of person would find a way to be offended by the inoffensive, they require offense to validate their self-image.
-
@sim Would could not accuse that kind of individual of possessing an internally-consistent logic.
-
@sim On a (somewhat) more serious note, I have never failed to be somewhat amused by the contortions the ideologues of this particular screed go to, to hold the contradictory position that racism is unacceptable, except against caucasians, where they not only feel the racism is acceptable, but also thoroughly encourage it.

@eris @sim Sorry that sounds a little too much like being Reasonable Human Beings, and apparently that place is a Reason-Free Zone TM
-
@verius @sim Oh, sorry, my bad. I forgot it's only oppression when the people attempting to use social pressure to change others' behaviours are being told to change their behaviour.

@purplehippo @sim Surgeon General's Warning: If your penis resembles any shape ascribed to the logic bandied by these individuals, seek medical assistance immediately.
-
@sim @eris Evidently they feel that their membership in Mastodon and it's federated nature empowers them to dictate how they entire Fediverse should act.
They are wrong.
-
@sim @eris I can only speak for my own instance that I operate myself, perhaps others will choose otherwise, but I, for one, didn't spend all this time cultivating a space we can have to be without the bullshit of Twitter, just to let the cancer spread here.
-
@sim @eris Beautiful thing about federated free software: If you don't like what's happening at one watering hole, you can choose another one, or even make your own!
-
@eris @sim I guess I'll go be emotional and tell them to fuck off then, that works for me too.
