   So, I've had some responses with violent ideation in them.

   Even if you're "just joking" or "only saying", it is not welcome in my head or on my timeline.

   I had to block some nice people I don't know well, which was regrettable.

     @evan haven't seen the replies, didn't occur as a response to your question, but ... How do you feel about e.g. Ministry for the Future? I haven't read it but my understanding is that it revolves around the idea that inaction on climate change *is* violence (not just ideation) by politicians and capitalists against esp. the global south / BIPOC and that at some point agonism unavoidably turns to antagonism?

     @blaine I very much liked the Ministry for the Future!

     I can't have my personal feed and site, with my real name and real associations, be a place for graphic speculation on terrorist violence.

     It would interfere with my work and my colleagues' work, both on the fediverse and for climate change tech.

     @Irreverent_B Understood. Honestly, I just don't want obviously problematic keywords showing up in my public feed.

     When I said revolutionary, I certainly did not mean or mean to imply violence.

     I'm guessing you realised that as I'm not blocked, yet want to be clear:

     Yes, I think we need revolutionary changes. No I do not see violence as acceptable or useful.

     Only peace can overcome violence.

     @evan please tell me what "ideation" means. Wikipedia is not helpful ?
