↳ In-reply-to » @abucci @movq I for ones was just silently confused, I'm not in the IRC, so whatever it was - therefore I didn't see it. I also think it's important to add, that no group, event or action, should be considered "protected from humor".

@thecanine@twtxt.net you wrote;

“The Fediverse fractured, mostly because some percentage of users, had to find a way to silence those offensive to them, for the entirety of their instance”

It is called moderation. Often people can get away by blocking individuals. In extreme cases entire instances must be blocked.

I also don’t understand the sanitation you are referring to. You don’t interact with what you don’t like, or agree with. You won’t find nazis in my timelines, or fanatic religiosity. Everyone creates their own space.

If “this place” were to become one day unsuitable for me, I would move on. Not the first, not the last. I always ask myself first, though, “is it me?” Sometimes it is me, and I learn, and I try hard to change.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci said it better than me. You don’t have the facts at hand, and your reply rose eyebrows, and least at my end.
