So co-founder of #Gab spin-off and the fake feminist anti-Trans site, #Spinster, talks about our organizing...and that it is succeeding at isolating hate to it's own self-silos.He is correct that our goal isn't to "work things out" by which he means federating enabling and amplifying their unmoderated anti-trans voices. But rather our goal is to isolate such instances into their own little silos. If folks inside those islands are up to rethink their views and want to talk; plenty of ways to do that that don't involve federation.But keep it up everybody. Good job.

@radicalrobit yeah, not even sure what that meant. Bigger than the following of this single purpose account? They are only about 5,900 accounts and many of those are not real.

@isolategab The number of active users is pitiful and they only federate with mostly other hate focused instances which are also small and pitiful. Most people have multiple alts on all those hate focused instance so it's just one user for every 5+ accounts.

@isolategab It's hard not to read that in the voice of Donald Trump tbh.I was thinking Cobra Commander, but then that guy never really had the patience for long screeds. Maybe Destro, though.

@isolategab the ridiculous assertion that “we could work something out” based on the complete lack of self-awareness of asserting only they are allowed to have unmovable moral tenets, everyone else’s (such as, trans people are good) are lesser, and should be mouldable to theirs. Do they really think that people who fight for trans rights do it out of boredom, or at random? Would put it down like yesterday’s newspaper?

@isolategab oh is that what it is, an instance for terfs? i couldnt tell if the people on spinster were retarded or just trolling, but i guess now i have my answerstill theyre right that i wont defederate by principle. i can personally block people from there if they cause me issues, but most of the time i dont even see them on my timeline so i have no reason to care

@wowaname @isolategab I haven't seem people on Spinster go out of their way to harass anyone though, I think it was created more as a safe space for the feminists there than anything else.

@wowaname @isolategab I'm not sure but I think Spinster actually bans trolls and "hate speech" while on Gab everything but terrorist threats and cp is allowed.

@radicalrobit @isolategab Their assertion seems to imply that when more people come over from Twitter/FB/etc they'll pick the instances that side with literal Nazis.Which is bonkers. "This instance has 'we are anti-hate speech and harassment' on their about page. I hated all the hate speech and harassment on Twitter. This instance is blathering on about free speech, which isn't something anyone in the free world really has to worry about...I think I'll pick the first instance."

@isolategab The idea that TERFs would be willing to work things out when they ignore all the data that contradicts their worldview is laughable. Denialism movements tend to resist that kind of honest dialogue so the only thing left to do is deplatform them.

@mlubert @radicalrobit @isolategab It is certainly in their best interests to push this narrative, and we need to push back. That's how their memes get propagated.

@drwho @isolategab @radicalrobit @mlubert I think we also need to push back on the idea that this is in any way a numbers game. Obviously, jettisoning vile pieces of garbage like Alex and his co-haters is going to reduce the population of the Fediverse. No sane person proposes that we open the door to that kind of filth just so we can boost our population.

@mlubert @radicalrobit @isolategab @drwho After all, if all you care about is numbers, Twitter and Facebook win hands down. Alex loses by his own rules.

@drwho @isolategab @radicalrobit @mlubert I wonder if SPLC accepts nominations for their hate group list? Spinster.xyz itself obviously qualifies as a hate group, as does Alex's co-admin Mary Kate Fain's organization WHRC: https://womensdeclaration.com/
