You poor thing. A marginalised, discriminated group at risk of losing even more of their rights keeps arguing with you, instead of sitting back and suck up their loss of equality. That must be frustrating for you



























That’s a poor analogy. It’s a federated network. No one is “gulaged” when we ban them. They’ve got the rest of the threadiverse to interact with. A “gulag” analogy would be apt if we had the ability to ban transphobic accounts from the whole of the fediverse, but we don’t have that power. All we can do is stop them from entering our space.
