“Hey, however you feel about the usefulness of this thing, we’re trying to use it to make things better and safer around here. Please don’t be a dipshit about it” really should’ve been the fucking end of this.
i just think at some point you have to be able to tell the difference between "haha im so funny and ironic" and "the kindest thing that can be said is that im being annoying"
You don’t need to shitpost in the fediblock hashtag. Even if you think it’s an ineffective tool, it is functionally how the conversation gets started. You don’t need to agree with every fediblock recommendation, anyone can make one and some people will make bad ones. Admins all have different methods and tools for working out who is a shithead, but having this hashtag allows people to find out about bad instances before they direct their hate towards you.
