It's hard to not be annoyed and vaguely escalatory when thirty people all ask you the same thing in thirty different ways

That's going to happen though. Most people are going to comment before reading through the comments. If they read through them at all. As I said to the other admin, if it's not possible to not be hostile in their response maybe it's time to stop responding for a while.

This is a space for open dialogue and I'm sorry if you felt alienated in any way 💜

And yes I did. Even more so after the second response that still had more attitude towards me without a hint of an apology. It's hard to feel this is an open dialogue space when other admins aren't willing to stop themselves or apologize when they are doing one of the main things this instance is trying to not have happen.

I would really appreciate it if you could drop the attitude with me. In all the comments I read I didn't once see this addressed so I'm not ignoring a damn thing. There will probably be other people commenting something similar who won't even bother to read other comments first. It's how people operate. If you can't keep yourself from getting hostile towards me and other people as an admin maybe it's time to stop responding to people tonight.

i'll be completely honest: i don't know where some of you are earning the confidence to speak more on what this instance do in the future than us, the actual admins who decide what will be done in the future.

I'm not speaking on what the instance is going to do. I gave my opinion on where I could see it going based on this action. That's why I said this is a slippery slope. The more instances that get blocked will cause people to sign up on other ones thus causing the same issue to happen but from a different instance. The only reasonable decision at that point would be to defederate from everything.

Again this is just my opinion and thoughts on the matter. The defensive and slightly hostile tone back reminding me I'm not an admin and therefore shouldn't speak about what I thought might happen wasn't really appreciated. This is supposed to be a place about open dialogue correct?

I see this being a very slippery slope. Part of the nice thing about the fediverse is being able to interact with other communities on other instances. I can easily see Beehaw starting to defederate with more and more instances thereby severely limiting the amount of communities that are accessible. I see the trigger being pulled to defederate from every other instance just to stop any unwanted things from happening.

I already got him banned from beehaw. It's going to be a thing that happens since ppl like that are able to join other instances and just post shit like that

That's the only reason they do it. Continue the culture war over here so you don't see me doing nothing over here.

I'll give that a try next time it happens. Of course I'm like "oh that makes total sense" once I hear it. It's probably the same reason for the other problems I'm running into.

Really? You have nothing better to do with your time than to sit there and create a post like this?

You know straight people have AIDS too? It's an interesting fact you should look up.

What's the biggest difference you're noticing? I might be interested in trying it out

That's what I thought. We would have to figure out a way first to either start Mars's core spinning again or to artificially create a magnetosphere to be able to keep an atmosphere in place. Neither of which we have the capability to do.

In jerboa there is a setting option to not show NSFW. Not sure how you're accessing lemmy though.
