I really can't agree with anyone that doesn't block linuxrocks for the sake of "controversial discussion".

That's not what Lunduke is about. They're just straight transphobic

Lunduke (@lunduke@linuxrocks.online)

8) If you include "your pronouns" in your bio, Lunduke reserves the right to laugh at you. Unless the pronouns are listed ironically, in which case Lunduke will laugh with you. 9) Are you an anonymous account with a cartoon avatar of a person with cat ears? Lunduke is going to assume you are an AI Chatbot. Want a response from Lunduke? Be a real human being.

And here's an admin openly admitting that they'll platform bigots and transphobes.

Yisrael Dov :emacs: :nixos: (@yisraeldov@linuxrocks.online)

@nus@mstdn.social Yes, and Yes. But I think it is more of just we tolerate unpopular opinions. We hope to have open discussions even if we think the person is wrong.

@dankalavros @lunduke The strange thing is that we don't block anti-semetic posts here, they exist but I think our open culture just isn't conducive to that type of thing. Most of the real Racists and Anti-semites only really thrive in an echo chamber.

LinuxRocks.Online (linuxrocks.online)

Of course every admin is free to run their instance as they see fit. However, I would strongly consider your userbase and how these people could effect them.

#Fediblock #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin

@BeAware
I'm convinced.

This did it for me:

Q: Does your server welcome people who believe LGBT people don't deserve the same rights as non-LGBT people?

Do they also welcome people who believe that Jews don't deserve the same rights as non-Jews?

A: Yes, and Yes.

My answer is Never and Never.

This means bigots and creeps will be running to his instance now to set up their homes for hating. His claim about unpopular opinions is bullshit. Statements that oppose facts are not opinions, they are just stupid, dangerous, hateful speech.

I am going to block linuxrocks.online

@BeAware @aras please see thread above, the admins comments honestly go even worse than the people he's defending, not only did he publicly post everyone's name who reported the offending accounts so that they could be retaliated against, he also has a pretty nasty thread calling for the beheading of anyone getting an abortion...this is no longer even resembling a linux community, it's just a nazi bar now

@raptor85 @aras I mean, I totally agree. I didn't see those personally because I don't care to scroll anymore, but I urge everyone who reads these posts to do their own read through and do what they feel is best for their instance and users.

That's about all I can do from here.

I'm just one man on my own instance trying to keep people Aware of these types of things.

Edit: didn't realize you weren't talking to me.

@admin @BeAware whether you agree or not with Lunduke or anyone else that has their own opinions, blanket blocking an instance or individual based on their opinions alone negates the idea of inclusion and what the fediverse is about.

If a person directly attacks you, block them all you want, but just because their views are different to yours isn't reason to block a whole instance or person

#Inclusivity

@meatlotion @admin being transphobic and laughing at trans people are direct attacks at people I consider friends.

So, yep, it's personal.

@BeAware @admin so laughing is now a hate crime? Jeesh grow up already. People laugh at each other all the time, it doesn't mean it's violence or anything.

Blimey the other day someone laughed at me when I tripped down a curb crossing the road and nearly stacked it into a lamp post, does that mean that they were being violent to me? NO of course it doesn't. Regarding the other issue, define "transphobic"

@meatlotion @admin Its 4:30 in the morning and have no interest in entertaining this further, have fun with your transphobes. Have a good night.

@give don't think they'd shut it down just for the bigotry. Else Twitter and truth social would be gone years ago.

@meatlotion @BeAware @admin

"whether you agree or not with Lunduke or anyone else that has their own opinions"

if your "opinion" denies the rights of others, it isn't an opinion, it's hate

@benroyce @BeAware @admin You're incorrect. Even if their "opinion" denies someone else's rights, it's still an opinion. Doesn't mean it's right, it's still an opinion. If however they acted on said opinion and actually did something to deny rights of someone, different story.

Until then, it's just opinion.

@benroyce @BeAware @admin who has been denying rights of others with their "opinions" anyway? Can you show me what you are referring to?

@meatlotion @BeAware @admin

yes, i can engage in your sealioning when everyone knows exactly what we are talking about including yourself

or i can simply call you out on your trolling bullshit

hmmm... hmmm...

@benroyce @BeAware @admin I don't agree with anyone even saying "trans" rights in the same sentence as [another] rights, as far as I'm concerned people have the same right, there's no trans or this or that. What you're doing by adding trans into the mix is segregating. You are the troll here, I believe everyone is equal, even you.

@meatlotion @BeAware @admin

it's true everyone is equal

which is exactly why those who deny trans rights exclude themselves from the criteria you just articulated

do you understand that and think you're being clever? or are you clumsily trapping yourself in your own weak bs?

@benroyce @BeAware @admin you are still segregating people by having "trans" in the sentence. Stop doing that. Only when people can see just people, without any preface, will we be able to move on.

@meatlotion @BeAware @admin

lunduke questions the equality of trans people

so, by what you just said, you're agreeing with me

my question for you then is:

do you realize this and think you're being a clever troll right now?

or do you genuinely not grasp this very simple point?

@benroyce @BeAware @admin I can assure you I'm not being a troll. I also don't agree with you because you segregate trans people from the rest of people. I don't put people in buckets, everyone belongs to just one bucket; People. That's it. Why must you segregate people?

@meatlotion @BeAware @admin

"I can assure you I'm not being a troll."

thank you for being honest and admitting your weakness here

"I also don't agree with you because you segregate trans people from the rest of people."

you understand that this is what *lunduke* is doing. correct? if someone else reacts to what lunduke is doing, they are not the one introducing the issue. do you understand?
