Not saying this is gonna *make* you into a leftist, it's just gonna amplify your already existing left-curious tendencies.

If you think that sentence is re-adapted from something I used to say to frat guys in college, you're right.

@andthisismrspeacock not universally true, the Fediblock people and their supporters saw all this freedom and decided the Fediverse needed some cops to keep order.
@TrismegistusMx @andthisismrspeacock paradox of tolerance, dude. read it
@tillianisafox @andthisismrspeacock Why do you think I won't tolerate your call to authority? You should remove ACAB from your username if you're going to support Fediblock. It's obvious that you think cops are necessary to protect you at the expense of others, even though we all have our own block and filter tools.

@TrismegistusMx @tillianisafox @andthisismrspeacock mate fediblock posts are people saying XYZ instance is doing XYZ thing and then other instances can decide whether that warrants a block. when fediblock says mastodon.scot is willingly harobring AN ACTUAL FUCKING COP, sharing that information is self-defense.

this is the entire point of federation, we're allowed to share who we're blocking so that we don't have to spend every waking minute tailoring blocks ourselves individually. you have a severe misunderstanding of what cops actually are and what their role is if you think sharing information on shitty behavior is what cops do. like are you gonna call the people doxxing nazis fucking cops?

literally just don't block everyone you see tagged with fediblock if you think people are wrong.

@TrismegistusMx @tillianisafox @andthisismrspeacock like damn dude can't wait to hear how whisper networks and indian women beating the shit out of rapists is supposedly fed shit, apparently cops are the people who hold you accountable for your actions lol, anarchism is when nobody is allowed to stop me from hurting people
