I think people think we're exaggerating.
(This was just in the mentions of another person's thread about the Mastodon UI and reply culture being not great—I removed the OP's name to reduce blowback. The replier's timeline makes it clear he's not joking.)
Without shared blocklists, this isn't tenable.

- I think people who want to productively disagree about things like Mastodon features should model active listening, should do the discussion in helpful channels and work to make them findable to reduce redundancy (hey blogs), and should yeet these assholes out of the conversation when they arrive.

Maybe it's useful to try to turn this into something that looks like a request:
- I think we need shared blocklists ASAP. I know people are working on them, and I'm grateful. If you want to fight in my mentions about whether they should exist, you're going in the sardine can.
- I think the people behaving like this need to be told by other [white dudes in open source or whatever] that their behavior is ridiculous and self-defeating.

There is no universe in which this is a helpful reply.
I’m sure whatever your reply to this post is will prompt a block, but before we disappear from one another’s timeline, I just wanted you to hear another voice telling you your profile is correct: yes, you really are an asshole.
