fediblocking is literally "I'm going to drop connections to people who might be who I call bad actors (no I will not elaborate)"
Also the vampire castle thing is so true that's literally what so many people I know did. If you are having issues or not being woke enough in the minute you're out of the friend circle and you lose other fake friends at once. All that's made me want to do is bully them more.
@errante that's what anarchism and rehabilitation would do, yeah - you'd talk to people around them, see what you can do. if ellenor doesn't trust you anymore, are you in a community with people they do trust, etc, etc. but you can't always be what someone needs, just through the internet
fediblock is far from anarchism though, it's just liberal vampire castle virtue signalling social capital etc etc etc. your friend is having an episode so you publicly toss them into the nazi registry to signal you're a good person
surely you know the best way to like, deal with someone in a mental health crisis, is to NOT yell at everyone 'hey! this person is having a mental health crisis!' and then try and isolate them from community and support networks
like aint the point of this whole anarchism shit that we're trying to do is to /help/ vulnerable people rather than kick them to the curb instantly
lulz edition: reporting gotosocial to make the socialist dev who had a meltdown at Moon for being a "bad fedi instance" guy throw his tendies on the floor
They did for a while. They lifted it now clearly since Errante can read posts from it.
But someone I know was trying to federate with them and found out the admins were drinking the kool aid about "Pleroma bad" so he had to modify his instances user agent and suddenly it worked with instances he had issues federating with.
@PhenomX6@errante it really, really sucks and it's deeply unhealthy and i hope they figure out how to leave it. a friend that will drop you for using a word that you didn't know was a dog whistle - or because you're asking questions while learning about politics/the world, or because you acted inappropriately while having a mental health episode - isn't a friend at all, and when you're in a social environment that's only this sort of person, everyone ends up with brutal trust issues, paranoia, etc
@PhenomX6@Abby@errante Cool. Of course its a gelding. Who else is says such psychotic shit to their supposed frens while they block them?
I wish it was only Rika. Rika at least was funny. Especially when he pissed himself into his own mouth, because Bioshock infinite featured a Christian main villain.
