I wish I could just make an account.
I went on Squabblr.co to check the news out and one of the first posts I saw was from user “14ss8bb8” talking about how transphobia isn’t hate speech.
Yeah that place just became Voat 2.0. What a fucking idiotic decision.
Tildes is a hideously ugly walled-garden circlejerk from the little I’ve seen of it, Squabblr.co seems neat but is very low-population (and without the fedi crossover I’m not sure if it’ll survive), and I’ve never even heard of Raddle before this.
I have no desire to have fascists exist on this platform “out of sight” any more than I have any desire to have a festering pile of dogshit swept under my rug instead of properly cleaned up.
If someone was planning to kill your family on an instance, would you just “block and be done with it?” What if it was anyone who looked like you, spoke your language? That’s what needs to be eliminated; threats to innocent people that you’ve decided just aren’t worth your time.
Your “opinion” that certain people should be killed on sight does not have to be “respected” by anyone.
Certain people should not have to justify their existence to anyone, especially not in the form of “reasonable debate”.
Conservatism has repeatedly shown itself to be a belief set that brings only pain. People don’t have to listen to you screech about your bigotry if they don’t want to.
They’re annoying, like over-caffeinated teenagers, and they like to use what I presume are something like Twitch emotes that don’t work outside of hexbear, which looks really stupid.
I don’t think they’re evil or anything, but they’re just so universally awful to deal with that I can fully support immediate no-questions-asked defederation. They’re the fediverse equivalent of a decent enough guy who just fucking reeks because they refuse to ever shower or wear deodorant.
