   Mmm, that’s like saying tolerance requires accepting the intolerant.

   My proud Popperist side is horrified by this interpretation of my words.

   I firmly believe that it’s our duty to be intolerant towards the intolerant, and proactively kick fascist asses to the hell they belong to.

   But when “intolerant” is applied as a label to anyone who doesn’t proactively defederate a platform where the definition of “intolerant” is statistically likely to cover at most 5% of its user, I have a problem.

   In short, I don’t think that it’s ok to be intolerant towards those who are on the same side as yours, but just happen to have a different “intolerance tolerance” bar, because nasty fracturing feedback loops may occur from such a transitive law.

   And I also don’t believe that voluntary reclusion that excludes that 95% of potentially innocuous users amid fears of encountering that 5% of potential jerks is a scalable solution that empowers vulnerable people to be really part of the society - it instead reminds me a lot of the features of a cult.
