The views expressed by Scott in this thread do not reflect the opinions of the Mastodon core team or organisation. We're addressing this internally. I'm sorry everyone

@haubles can you sum it up? The thread is now so long i don't know what you are talking about

@lutindiscret

Scott found it problematic that some people on Mastodon pour hate in people's mentions instead of using block/mute.

The ones who want to pour hate didn't like that.

@haubles

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles That’s not actually what happened. Scott was remiss that Mastodon wasn’t full of fascists and AI boosters. The so-called big tent, a dog-whistle for the far right. Mastodon put him right on that.

His big mistake was comparing the racism experienced by black people with that of insufferable AI boosters and fascists. His argument imploded from there really.

@gavin57

Do you often lie on the Intarnetz to feel validated?

@lutindiscret @haubles

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles I’m not the one lying.

@gavin57

Yes, you are. Is it from ignorance or malice?

@lutindiscret @haubles

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles You’re one of those AI boosters, aren’t you. What would you know about the truth. 🤣

@gavin57

What do you hope to accomplish from posting easily disproven lies in this thread?

@lutindiscret @haubles

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles Dude, you realise Scott spent most of yesterday trying to dig himself out of the hole he created.

It apparently resulted in someone from Mastodon apologising for it. Go bug someone else.

@gavin57

It is you who replied to me with a post filled with lies. Again, what are you trying to accomplish?

@lutindiscret @haubles

@troed @lutindiscret @haubles Just because someone fundamentally disagrees with you, it doesn’t mean they are lying. You could try reading the whole thread. https://social.coop/@scottjenson/116358409926549012

@[email protected] @[email protected] My point is that you should have the feed you want. Follow who you want, block who you want, filter who you want. That is the beauty of the fediverse. What I'm asking for, and I'm a bit shocked that this is controversial, is a 'bigger tent', I'd like lots of voices to be here. I'm NOT endorsing AI in any way. I'm just using it as an example of something most people don't like that should be allowed here. That's what a big tent means. Forget AI, I chose it (unwisely) as a foil. If you kick out AI, you can kick out anyone else. That feels like cultural suicide. YOu can hate something but still fight to the death that it has the right to be here.
