@newt You can't complain when other people see you as their enemy and want you dead or it would be hypocritical.

The hypocrisy is the double standard. They don't want to be labelled but will happily label others, they don't want to be on the blocklist with other undesirables but they still support the blocklist and putting other instances on it while tarring them with the same association. And I don't think they realise this? Now that it happens to them, they realise what we have been saying for a long time and why it is divisive but not enough to decide that it shouldn't be done to any instance.

It's just... look at those other people over there! They are worse than us, why aren't you attacking them instead?
