Also how conveniently day old accounts from instances with open registration pop up to go on racist or transphobic tirades so that db0 or .ml members can pin it on opponents.
I don’t necessarily read too much into which direction the pot is being stirred, because it doesn’t even need to be from one side or the other when anyone can make and account anywhere and just be a malicious third party that wants to see the 2 other fight. I think all the public bickering is useless between the admins. I think airing all this stuff out just drags more people into the argument.
The call to violence stuff is also something I think should be real embarrassing to any admin of any instance. Allowing that stuff reflects badly on your whole community. There are plenty of people I wouldn’t miss right now, but I don’t want to live in a time or place it’s alright to hurt people we don’t like. The pendulum always swings back your way.
We have something really great going on here in the Fediverse, and it’s nice seeing so diverse a userbase getting along relatively well. I never thought I’d see one place mixing mainstream liberals, communists, socialists, anarchists, lgbtq, furry, and whatever else we’ve got going on here working so well. I’m going to be pretty upset if we let a single digit number of people bust this place up. Please get it together, people.
