I second this.
I appreciate being polite when it comes to interactions but this doesn't always mean that I get to interact with people that don't agree with me. Some people are set in their ways and will other you even if you are polite simply for holding different viewpoints. You are the out-group. If you want to be a part of the in-group then you have to meet all these confusing conditions first and even if you do then your past can be used against you. You can't win this when conditions are put in place.
Besides that, why is it just one side that is expected to change?
Don't be an arsehole or else we'll block the instance you are on, forcing you to be isolated from your instance or your entire instance isolated from us. And arsehole is arbitrary and depends on what we think being an arsehole is so you have to jump through hoops to meet this requirement to interact with this instance and at our pace so you have to always be ready or else we assume bad faith. And you aren't allowed to object while we behave like arseholes and hold this against you. It's okay when we are abusive, lie about you and behave like arseholes with these conditions but not you. You have to change for us, you can't expect us to adapt to you. -

Yeah, it is better at the user level.
Besides, just because someone is an arsehole towards me or a post I made or a thread I'm in, it doesn't mean they are an arsehole to others or all the time. Varying factors can play into it.
Sometimes people have just had a bad day or the topic triggered them. I prefer to be polite in return and to not insult, and maybe it gets resolved or talked out. Or maybe there is nothing further to contribute and so you leave the post alone. There are other ways to handle these situations than to isolate them.
Besides, why would I want to isolate them from others just because of my random experience? Better for me to handle it myself and to be responsible than to expect other people to do this for me when I have the tools and ability to handle it myself. Maybe not everyone is capable of doing this... but then how do we give them the confidence and skills to be able to handle it? -

You can't win playing the cancel game because it can and will be used against you eventually.
It sucks when people tell you to kill yourself but at that point they have either lost the argument or they are responding to you telling them to do something they don't want to do. Dialogue has been shut down at that point, probably some element of rejection too.
Sometimes we do have to ask ourselves how our behaviour has led to the reactions that we get and how we can better respond next time if we want to minimise that. Sometimes it is them, sometimes it is us, and if we keep getting the same unpleasant experiences then it might be worth exploring what we're saying or doing to get those reactions. Even asking someone why they say what they do can be enlightening. I do find the concept of the filter to be interesting, because people that use it know that the poster will report them, block them or block their instance. That they will be rejected for it. They expect that. But if you don't do those things then that surprises them and could open dialogue up. But I suspect that this is going to get lost in translation even though this is the most common form from people on blocked instances.
We could instead be asking ourselves why people feel the need to filter in this way, what are they responding to and how can we bridge the gap if our goal is more people interacting that hold different opinions? It doesn't just happen without a cause. -

@grillchen @lain @lola This is what I would hope to be the answer. That people just want peace and chill. -

@lain @lola Well, the idea is that if you support palestine then you are antisemitic, if you support israel then you are islamophobic. If you pick neither then often this ends up meaning that you are against them both because you aren't with them. It's hard to be politically neutral these days and that gets lost. This is just what I was thinking about when the question came to mind. -

This poll is currently 50-50, I have been asked what kind of people follow me... how do you plead? -

@Moon Just over 100 people voting for a controversial poll like this is definitely blowing up for fedi. It opens up an interesting dialogue given the recent conflict and how we've been conditioned over the years. -

@lain I know, I need a ginger tour guide when I tour all the scottish castles. Then I get the best of both worlds!
