Not even talking about contribution. I am talking about people trying to boycott those who simply use the software. There are actual mastodon admins who block instances on the mere grounds of having deployed soapbox.
- mrtksn 4y agoSo? Do you think that some people are entitled of audience and their right for audience is taken away? Maybe this SJW culture went too far, I think it's time to push back against stuff like right for audience. Just let people make their own decisions. If they don't want to be involved(use or contribute) in this piece of software for whatever reason, people must be free to do so.
- rglullis 4y agoI don't know which side of the argument you are taking. Yes, I totally think that the SJW went too far, and I think that those blocking ActivityPub servers on the grounds of "this server uses software written by a 'bad' person, therefore the admin is guilty by association" is one example of that.
- wut42 4y agoThe guilt by association -which Pleroma suffered of at some point and probably still does, too- exists. I kinda think it's fine in the end. You are free to not use an instance that uses that kind of blocks. I kinda get why they exist, like many Soapbox instances users are actually trolls and stuff. It's a bad way to protect yourself from unwanted content, but it can make sense.
