Ok, this is my official petition to defederate from sh.itjust.works - eviltoast

Despite the rules they claim to enforce on their instance, when I see a racist, bigoted, or obnoxiously offensive take here it’s pretty much exclusively a user from there.

I made a comment about this today on a thread made by a user from that instance and now I have rather graphic scat porn gifs in my inbox from their users. If you somehow don’t know what that means - I am now being sent explicit gifs of people defecating out of their anal orifice because I think their instance is filled with bad faith trolls. They’re really doing a lot to dissuade me of that notion.

So fuck you, here’s my petition to defederate.

    It’s also sort of an egocentric action – “I don’t like some users over there, so nobody should be allowed to interact with any of the users over there”

    The threadiverse will continue to grow, and there’s going to be people of all kinds joining up. We need to figure out how to coexist as individuals because you can’t just have every instance defederate with everyone else because there might be a bad user.

      Yep spot on. I get that people have their own preferences and tolerances, but that’s what it is, thier own, it feels pretty entitled to think everyone else should be affected when you can just block communities and people yourself
