Lots on the #fedi today about #gatekeeping and #inclusion and #moderation.

Popper's Paradox of Intolerance gets thrown around.
My litmus test is simpler:

If your view, opinion, or ethos is FOR people, then  
If all you got is that you're AGAINST some people, then that's not cool.  (against==eradication/ban)

Being for someone who is against someone also makes you against the same people/thing.

Note that disliking/not being FOR something/someone is NOT the same as being AGAINST it, there's a difference; the latter is where you actively, openly, call for and act towards the suppression or removal of or hatred towards people or things.

And for anyone who is against someone - yeah, they've broken the social contract we all adhere to where we tolerate one another; and if they're not going to play by societal rules of good conduct, they don't get to participate.

Pretty sure I'm just rephrasing something someone else much smarter than I said much more succinctly, but it makes sense in my head this way.
