   @david Why are they doing this anyway? I've never seen anything bad coming from your instance that I can remember.

     @zorinlynx @david There absolutely isn't serious abuse coming from tech.lgbt. It's a quite calm place filled with quite decent folks.

     This is all just a "principled" display of loyalty between various members of a community now famous for their heavy-handed moderation and blocklisting tactics as a means of exerting control on the parts of the Fediverse they don't directly control already.

     Those same principles don't apply to larger instances like dot-social, who they still permit despite a huge subset of problematic users coming from there, simply because they're worth too much in terms of business to lose.

     It's all just leftists-eating-other-leftists except manifested in powerful people who can sever tens of thousands of connections at a moment's notice and use that power to grind their personal axes.

     @silvereagle @david That's nuts. How do their own users feel about it? tech.lgbt is a 4K user instance. Cutting off that many people over not liking some mods is absurd, unless there's serious abuse coming from the instance.

     @zorinlynx @david It's a very long story, but it basically boils down to "they don't like some of the mods, so they've extrapolated that into a condemnation of the entire instance and everyone on it"
