An interesting case of moderation in the fediverse
(blog.ownlifeful.com)
This magazine is dedicated to discussions on the federated social networking ecosystem, which includes decentralized and open-source social media platforms. Whether you are a user, developer, or simply interested in the concept of decentralized social media, this is the place for you. Here you can share your knowledge, ask questions, and engage in discussions on topics such as the benefits and challenges of decentralized social media, new and existing federated platforms, and more. From the latest developments and trends to ethical considerations and the future of federated social media, this category covers a wide range of topics related to the Fediverse.
This guy wrote a long-self pitying blog post about how he has been victimized due to not having got the memo about T------ being a slur. He claims to have been acting in good faith but misunderstood. It is extremely boring cataloguing various accounts and how he has been mistreated everywhere. He narrates his participation in communities where by his own accounting, he plainly does not understand the topic at hand and was being argumentative and trollish. Apparently he received bad vibes from this which I think is meant to evoke sympathy.
Eventually we get to the conflict (such as there is any) in the story when he makes a weird fetishising comment containing a slur. From the context provided I don't really get the impression that it was a place where sexual comments were probably on topic and I am guessing it would still have been creepy if he expressed a similar thought without using a slur.
The author uses the unredacted slur throughout the post. There is nothing resembling evidence that he has taken any time at all to attempt to learn what the "misunderstanding" was.
Just to show how easy it is to find, here is the wikipedia which is shorter than this comment^1^ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tranny
He concludes with what I think due to the formatting is a ?poem?. You do not have to read any of the rest of it you will understand everything from this:
He is assuming the reason why people disagree with him is because they are stupid and manipulable rather than because he is wrong. He is complaining because he accidentally called a group of people by a slur and was shown the door as a consequence. Because he has failed to take the opportunity to learn anything from the situation, he is unable to engage with the issues. So most of the "argument" of this post consists of more name calling.
In summary, I disagree with the title. This is not interesting.
