Yeah I made this account first before hopping to one more suited for me. Didnt turn out well there but generall if you're pretty new i imagine most people arent too attached to their instance

Good way to punish websites that have zero security i suppose

/remind me in 10 years

Oh yes, let's pick on the weak programming languages because haha funi

Well that's a good sign at least. I think i just ran into a triggerhappy mod.

Yeah that's valid. It's not your responsability to deal with their warped worldview.

First, i want to make it extremely clear that i am NOT advocating for "tolerance" with these people. I am advocating for communication and education. We should not simply tolerate having people hate us, especially with the level some extremists are willing to go to.

I understand the need for a safe space. It's a good concept. But there's a fine line between safe space and political echo chamber. Once you start banning people for advocating for an option other than hate, it becomes problematic.

Okay, which brings me back to, why push those people further away, so they only strengthen that worldview rather than trying to communicate with them and show them who we really are? It's not like you don't want the undesirables to go away somehow as well, right?

I think the mod glanced over the comment and was a little triggerhappy. It was not in a blahaj thread, and the post (along with the rest of the comment chain) first got removed for being off topic in that sub by the mods of thst instance. Which i guess is what got the blahaj mod's attention.

I didn't come to blahaj to be a contrarian. I like the place. That's why i made my account there. I didnt go there to argue about politics, but if it keeps popping in my feed, i see someone with a bad take, i'm going to respond. If that's what they decide to ban, so be it. ill find another place to call home in the fediverse.

So you're saying their methods are more aggressive. You're not describing your average trump supporter, right? You're describing the extreme, just like they describe the extremists of the left in their propaganda. I'm not suggesting we waste time on extremists. I'm suggesting there is hope for the rest of them.

I hope so, let's get some semi-healthy competition going, maybe they'll even have to provide a better user experience instead of just seeing who can milk their users the most optimally. Probably not but one can dream.
