LOL, ok so hold up. POC, LGBT, women, literally EVERY community EXCEPT white guys have been continual targets of dog-piling and harassment from since day one, but when a famous white guy gets a small taste of the abuse he and his ilk constantly dish out, the mother fucking creator of Mastodon is going to change it's Code of Conduct for him??

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Gargron ain't shit, yo. Like... for real..

@Are0h its only a matter of time before everyone starts biting the bullet and just blocking .social too

@frickhaditcoming I'm gonna talk about it with my instance because I'm strongly leaning that was as well.

This is just getting ridiculous. He's literally doing the same shit FB, Birdland and all of the other non-sense sites do and change the rules to protect the white guy's feelings.

@Are0h it gets worse down thread :')
@a_breakin_glass @Are0h yeah i saw most of the thread and ive seen him say a bunch of really dumb shit before, but this by far took the cake
@Are0h

i found the cognitive dissonance of how they handled the situation as well as the disconnect of choosing the person they chose to represent the moderation team to be quite amusing
@kaniini They've made a choice. That's all it really is. And it's the one we expected them to make, despite their proclamations about community and what not.
@Are0h exactly, and that's why a lot of people are doing their own things in this space now instead of just following Gargron. i think that's a good thing for the fediverse as a whole.
@kaniini Agreed. The shift is going to be a bit bumpy because it's a hub, but no instance should be that central to the overall experience anyway.
@Are0h In a disappointing but not surprising twist, he folded as soon as Some Big Head poked its way into the fray.
Telling off peeps with like 4 followers on a fringe instance is one thing but it's pointless if he can't (won't) stand up to someone with a modicum of fame or power

@Are0h

Daibutsu says you use words in ways he finds fascinating though he is unable (being a hollow bronze statue to employ as you do), but more importantly, he agrees that there was a failure to show compassion for people who were suffering. He smiles on you.

@Are0h i said something like he's a shit human before the last time i left, but i forgot why i even said it, but i stand by my words lol.
