@freemo Could it be you're not using their preferred pronouns?

@freemo @trinsec @khird New here, but it doesn’t sound like qoto is at risk of isolation, and I agree with @obi. Don’t give in to bullies.

@freemo I think allowing creeps to interact with the community (at least until they break a rule in that community) has some small potential of "normalizing" the more open-minded among them, as opposed to radicalizing, especially if people are willing to engage with them.Conversely, isolating them completely without feedback leads to the amplified hatred seen on...so many communities I've heard about since the first time Reddit started banning subreddits.If they are going to be isolated on mastodon, though, maybe it would be better if they can't see our content at all (via follow-bots or whatever). I'm sure we provide endless entertainment through the posts they choose to boost. Without that, maybe they'd eventually get bored.

@matrix @dyedgrey @ypc_bunsen You aren't rejecting a ritual; you're going out of your way to perform an offensive ritual of your own by propagating that word. Being polite costs you nothing. I'm sorry they hurt your feelings by blocking you (really I'm not--you're an asshat), but that's their right and the way things work here, as defined by the rules of the Fediverse.That clip is funny, but it's now thirteen years old. Times have changed. Get with the times, boomer.

@matrix You're right. "Times have changed" is a shit argument.

@lowqualityfacts One of your facts is going to end up on Fox News at some point, and then I will be angry at you.

@science_quotes Interesting results. I spent my PhD questioning published work and my own. It led to some new discoveries, and I view that as the only correct way to do science.
