It's hard to believe that we're still having this discussion, but more and more damage keeps being done.

This time, the mastodon dot art curator team (controlled by user Welshpixie) announced they're fully suspending tech.lgbt from their instance.

Why? Because in tech.lgbt's statement about all the recent bullshit, they very honestly came out and said they didn't have "consensus" amongst the mods for how to best respond to the TheBadSpace controversy.

The dot art instance, nothing if not bloodthirsty for blocking, decided this meant the whole instance and the thousands of users, a great deal of whom are from vulnerable groups themselves, were an "unsafe space" for BiPOC users.

This would be absurd and not worth anyone's time to debate, except that the dot art instance has tens of thousands of people on there, many of whom just want to see their art reach more folks and are unaware of all of this.

Please, if you're on there, find a new instance home. It's only getting worse.
