@arstechnica I am of the opinion that we should embrace this, I honestly look forward to connecting with people who decided to take the threads path. I dont want us to also be walled off, the only difference is that we could make it democratically instead of top down decisions, I respect that but think what if we blocked all gmail email accounts...?

Gmail blocks all self-hosted email servers for ages. It is not us, who are responsible for such nonsense.

@AdeptVeritatis @arstechnica Yes, that is true, it eventually gets resolved. But what I am saying is we should not do the same thing back. Which is what I have been hearing on here from time to time.

It is not the same. The power is on different sides.

Why does it sound like "reverse racism" to me?
