@jeffcliff Have you considered making an account on one of those middle-ground servers where you can speak your mind but still can talk to instances that you otherwise couldn’t, and also change your behaviour to be less violently aggressive (this is important so you don’t get banned from the server or get your server defederated from all over again)?
@jeffcliff the thing is that most people would rather not communicate with people with aggressive communication styles and the sooner you learn that, the sooner you will be able to communicate with a wider range of people than just the assholes here
@sun@jeffcliff I remember seeing that clip posted on fediverse when he first joined and was baffled by why loads of people kept posting vitriol at him for it because it seemed like he was just describing what had happened to him, not promoting it in any way.
@sun@jeffcliff >inb4 "it's a joke" Yes, I can tell. But you wouldn't have made that joke if you didn't think that was something that is at least somewhat likely to happen. If not by George Takei specifically, maybe by gay people in general.
Online moderation (incl various forms of defederation) is good and all, but there's too much rule of whim and not enough due process. Some things that might help: - logging moderation actions and notifying those sanctioned (already done in many cases but not in enough) - allowing appeal - maybe a full-blown jury system if it's worth the effort Communities can pick and choose from these depending on their resources. One thing one could do might be to make a list of forums/spaces that rates them on these qualities. cc: @ntnsndr
