Ada does the hard work of blocking people so I don’t fucking have to. Thanks, Ada.
The number of people who refuse to follow the rule of “if you don’t like it, don’t engage with it” is too damn high. It’s like people think they’re owed others hearing their opinions. No, we don’t owe you that, especially not after you’ve disrespected very simple rules.
It was kind of wild reading the comments on those posts in YPTB where people were both saying “I don’t even like the instance” but also getting mad that they’d been banned from the instance. If you’ve never interacted with the instance, why do you care so much if you’re banned?
I did see a few people mention they liked visiting 196, and I can understand being a little annoyed at a ban especially if you weren’t saying what got you banned on blahaj, but my impression is that banning from blahaj isn’t a final permanent decision, just a preventative measure.
That poster was Just Not Getting It. Ffs, a comm banning you pre-emptively for being a douchecanoe - especially in a move that’s protecting part of the Community under attack in this day and fucking age - is a no goddamn brainer.
Although i did start howling when they were losing track of what “they” were banned for and what OtherUserTotallyNotASockpuppet was banned for.
Found another post and another sockpuppet. Also dunno if anyone saw but they were whingeing in feddit too and i’ve even seen what i strongly suspect was tumblr rantpost
Multiple sites, multiple alts, all railing and raging… really just proving the point there bud…
I think they care because they wanted to express their opinion to the trans people on Blahaj but can’t because they’re banned from the communities and their responses won’t even be seen by them. They’re mad for the same reasons regular bigots get mad about being banned, they want to be able to force their opinion onto others, exactly like they say we force our opinions on them.
What was wild/hilarious to me was that so many of them are banned from Blahaj that I had to view the original thread on db0 to see over half the comments in the thread. I was receiving so many replies that just… didn’t federate to Blahaj… I never would have seen them if I hadn’t checked the other instance’s version of the thread.
That feel when they can’t even bother you because your admin is watching your back.

It was some real DARVO shit.
Blahaj: we are banning this person to prevent their odious, abusive behavior from arriving on our instance to protect the sanity of our userbase.
Banned: Nuh uh, that’s overreach, you’re the real abuser here! I feel personally attacked!
