@mae @faye This... this should not, at all, be a thing.

This breaks the system.

For the first time ever, I'm going to block a domain, and it's going to be that one.

@mattblaze @gruber @hachyderm @Gargron

@robustjumprope @faye @mae Yes. Yes, it is.

This is something which should not be done.

I need to be able to trust that the content of a toot is the same as everyone else sees, and that the edit history reflects reality. Break this social contract and I am out; there is no second chance.

Thus, instant domain banhammer.

@hachyderm @Gargron

@apicultor @robustjumprope @faye @mae block all you want, its not going to put the genie back into the bottle, as they say

if you had that expectation, then you should reassess many many MANY things in your life; yes, there is a expectation that things should appear the same for everyone, but social contracts are not "unbreakable vows", they cannot not be broken. in fact, they may not even exist, they're expectations we place on eachother, but we never agreed on "this is how things should be", we only assumed.

gender is one of those things, and yet here i am, fucking it up, are you gonna block me as well?

even this (specific case) is a relatively harmless thing, any incentive for this to get abused can be filled in by any better feature, and the threshold for such things are high, due to the skill involved needing to make the tech to do this kind of stuff

and even then, the knowledge that one server implementation can do this will spread, and people can assume new things
