   As much as the #fediblock crowd likes to bray on about how they're helping make the fediverse more inclusive, in reality they're gatekeeping a network that they see as some sort of secret club.

   They want the network inclusive, but only for "the right people". That's not inclusive.

   You don't lift people up by putting others down. Period.
