@anarchopunk_girl @ExecGoofy To be fair, that goes both ways: I held myself from immediately jumping into parroting the TechDot fervor because I hadn't been following what happened before it exploded. And I wanted to try and figure out what both sides had to say. Because by all means, all *I* saw was "he's transphobic he's transphobic MastoArt is being transphobic", and the claim that Ro was arguing the same of TechDot but race.

I'm still not confident I have the full picture but now I reasonably think "He had a point about TechDot Admins, BUT he also messed up with the blocklist, and overreacted; MastoArt admins are wholly in the wrong and this fallout is just hurting every, only the deliberate bigots are winning"

There's a lot of buried landmines because of the history of minorities, especially AfroAmericans (and outside of this case, Indigenous), being sidelined and blamed for everything. So that's something that does have to be considered as to why and what.
