The responses in the original thread spell out an ultimatum that some people refuse to work with anyone who criticizes TheBadSpace in any way:
I can hardly imagine someone from our team not supporting Ro
I have been helping Ro and that’s how people feel about it then I don’t wanna work with them
All for what? These "receipts" are SO benign: they say "innocent users are going to get caught in the drama" (they are, and have), and they boost someone saying blocklists are in general a case of good intentions poorly executed (they are).
None of this is, in any fucking way, racism or bigotry. This is a wholly uncontroversial take.
And yet, the outrage inside Tusky not only forced the community manager out, but made them issue this apology:
I am extremely sorry to anyone hurt by my thoughtless actions.
What thoughtless actions?! You were 100% right, and got yeeted for it.
That's fucked, right?
