The founding generation of the fediverse may operate with definitions of “sysop is malicious” and “bad behavior” that make little sense to most of the world. For example, back when centralized blocklists were still in vogue, some insisted that servers that failed to ban discussion of libertarianism, ought to go on the blocklist. For whatever reason, some of the founding generation see libertarianism as beyond the pale, as equal to fascism or hate speech. Even as someone who has been annoyed for decades by the libertarian idealism occasionally encountered on nerd forums, that strikes me as a bizarre policy.
