I obviously need to pin a post about this again which is forcing me to create a new one.

Nobody on social media owes anyone else an explanation for how and what they post. Nobody needs to roll up and tell people what and how to post.

Nobody owes anyone else an explanation for how they present themselves online, most especially anyone in a marginalized or threatened group. Nobody should have to share or be forced to share any more information about themselves than they want.

People usually come to a social media platform to meet like-minded people and relieve stress, not make new stress. Give people a break.

We have moderation rules. They’re reasonable. We stick to them.

And if you don’t like it, just don’t follow me or anyone on this instance. We don’t care. We’re fine. You don’t need to tell us.

We’re way past explaining it. We’re just going to block you.

@TonyStark I wonder if people are trying to be helpful and don't realize how long you (and most on your instance) have been around on various platforms, or are they just lost and need to go back to the bad bird?

@ncw413 I’m not sure. I try and give people the benefit of the doubt and this is going into year 7. I also try and boost the work and opinions of others and am definitely not here to serve myself.

Today some person who’s newer to this platform decided to jump in on a a thank you I wrote to supporters and wrote a very rude reply to numerous people on this instance. Just uncalled for, considering.

I don’t mind the negativity towards me, but I very much dislike it when people who I’m responsible for here are dragged in.

Thanks for the reply, Nancy.

@TonyStark @ncw413

I was never on twitter, and to be completely honest, it didn't occur to me there are people who were here as long as 7 years ago. I always tread carefully, online and in the world, so no worries from here about rude anything.

Mastodon is my respite from Zukerberg and friends.
