   @thomasfuchs @molly0xfff yeah, well, about that: https://eightpoint.app/@daisy/111927187025676223 (that’s just popped up on my timeline right now, more shows up constantly).

   not saying there’s no bigots on fedi, but they’re relatively easy to defederate, whole instances at a time, and they’re not even trying to go for a narrative that frames them as “the” network. or maybe they do, I wouldn’t know, it doesn’t federate over here.

   not saying that bsky is all bigots either, but they’re effectively centralized and with that comes some, y’know, responsibility for proper moderation. as long as it’s not an actual network with effective large-scale moderation tools available for the users themselves, it’s on them. and they’re fucking it up.

   no, this is not “them just wanting to enjoy their platform the way they like”, for whatever definition of “them”, as long as it includes bigots.

   no, “just spend your time and energy blocking bigots one by one” is not the answer, it’s the same sort of shit as twitter after musk.

   there’s a few more proposed “solutions” like this, or very perplexed “why don’t you just” questions in this thread already that are likewise not well thought-out to say it lightly, but this will have to suffice as an answer to them:

   sometimes there’s a little bit more nuance and reason behind things like this “hate”. such as fundamental differences between the motives of “hate” either side has. try looking for it instead of trivializing and equating them.

   I’m truly puzzled to see that coming from someone who just had the entire substack experience.
