The whole bad space thing and blocking tech.lgbt from other instances is absolutely insane. Some of the instances involved haven't blocked mastodon.social (which is full of basically anything and tons of random abuse because it's so big), but are blocking tech.lgbt. As usual, queer people are hyper-scrutinised, and all it takes is one terminally online with an unhealthy obsession to find a way to frame an entire community as fundamentally evil based on some questionable disagreements. Don't use block lists. You really don't want your blocking decisions to be based on people who add things to a list on a whim with no accountability and oversight. But even outside of block lists... god when are progressive communities going to get over this obsession with performative punishment and branding people as bad? I've never seen this instance allow bad people to stay, moderators always take care of things, and they're usually pretty responsive. It's beyond absurd to block tech.lgbt
