    You’d be better off without them, they (the runners of the instance, not the userbase) are a bunch of absolutely cowardly little liars. They were more than happy to accept the massive boon this instance gave them and at the same time agitate and concern troll here to try to drive a wedge in the userbase. I find that shit deeply irritating, especially since they claim to be apolitical and merely blocking instances for “hate speech” which (aside from being a political concept) was seemingly the false pretext they have for also blocking hexbear.net, which is currently forked but is the only instance with substantial usership to mandate pronouns and has much more aggressive anti-racist moderation.

    If you simper enough, I’m sure they’ll be happy to have you back since they seem the type to feel they are never receiving enough sycophantic flattery, but that’s a bad trade for you.

        Exactly. Politics affect every little instance of your daily lives, from the taxes you pay, through the type of food you buy (local or imported?), to the sex of people you can get married to.

        Being apolitical is just being ignorant.

          The strategy is to just vote and move on. Don’t spend too much time on politics.
