Whether you like it or not, #TheBadSpace is here, and it's here to stay because of its utility to marginalized and targeted groups in the fedi.

As I've said a billion times, it's a work in progress and constantly changing, so I'll listen if one has a legitimate concern.

But I am unmoved by people taking hearsay as the truth and engaging me in bad faith attempts to express their latent anti-Blackness because the thought of us defending and protecting ourselves enrages you.

If you cannot engage with me as a sensible and thoughtful person trying to figure out some complicated issues, I will treat you like the bigoted asshole you're presenting yourself as.

I am responsible for making The Bad Space as fair and even-handed as possible.

I am not responsible for assuaging racist fabrications because you don't want to recognize my personhood.
