I'm not saying this to get people to follow me out of here. I harbor no ill will of anybody that stays, what-so-ever.
I do wish you guys the best of luck. I don't think you're necessarily 'bad people'. I think you've just made some cowardly decisions that make people unsafe.
I hope someday this place might become what it once was.
It's not an enviable position to be in, especially when personal high school clique nonsense can let them punish your entire instance. I get that. I get also that you're going to take a long time to respond because you have lives.
But when another instance can harass your own users (and even other admin!) off your platform and follow them to other webpages to harass them there and your reaction is to apologize to them then the situation re: good faith reports becomes untenable
I will say this though. Comparing Zionism to Nazism is a bad and antisemitic take.
And being like "Context matters in screen shot dunking!" is a cowardly way to avoid the fact that an admin of an instance took a report and snitch tooted it to make the person who reported it less safe.
Our own admins apologizing *to that admin* for a negative reaction to that, means that your users are unsafe under you as long as another admin has a big enough user base to intimidate you.
So, in light of recent developments, I'm out of here. I wasn't here much anyways.
I haven't moved to another instance on Mastodon, and I might not. If I do someday, I'll make a redirect to this.
You can catch me on Twitter, with the same name as I have here.
If you want me on Discord, my DMs on Twitter are open, just ask. I don't like posting that publicly. Sorry.
If we don't meet again, then it's been fun, hope you stay safe.
