I'm out of here if the community stays up. I've already blocked it, but we cannot be tolerant with the intolerant.

They need to go, and other instances would be right to ban. That's the only way this model works.

It's actually not. The fediverse is supposed to be pretending ideas that aren’t in line with yours are evil and the people who have them are incapable of reason or morality? That only perpetuates the divide. Truly evil people are a much smaller percentage of the population than the internet implies. Let’s actually talk about things openly and work together peacefully. Don’t assume you’re arguing with some evil bastard with horrible intentions. Assume you’re arguing with someone whose perspective has been shaped by their actual experiences and isn’t so dense they’ll never budge. Assume ignorance and not hate, but even if it's hate it's possible that they don't even understand why. It's something people can work with. Maybe then humans can accept MORE types of people than just the ones that are popular at the time. If you don’t think that’s a better future maybe you should look inwardly.

Then you'll always be led around by the nose by people you don't like. Block, move on. Be an adult. Other people don't need to decide on what everyone else can see. If you don't want to see it, you won't.
