defederation notice; lengthy
i have had to make a really, really tough call here, but it's for the ultimate safety of users here.i am now defederating plush.city. honestly, i would not be surprised to find they already defederated us, but, in light of Recent Events, this is my course of action. i will explain it as follows:
- a user posted to the fediblock hashtag, recommended everyone remote suspend/defederate an instance, due to someone's post. in which, in that post, was a user describing their own beliefs. whether you agree with their ideology or not is beyond the point; this is a personal qualm used to try to cancel a transfem.
- said user who posted this cancellation post has went on to talk about how kodocons are equivalent to, and i quote, "2d kidfuckers", and how you'd be seeing them "in the hauge" for suggesting this be permissible.
i do not tolerate this kind of behavior, these users pose a threat to queers like us who are not harming anyone. and, go figure, people like to raise hell over inconsequential bullshit.
trying to incite a harassment mob against a transfemme for their political beliefs, to deplatform and cancel them, then to go on and chime in on the recent steam/itch.io BS and go "well actually it's fine these games are being censored, and anyone saying otherwise i will personally kill myself" is, in fact, dangerous.
sorry for the overly long post, i need to make it clear as day when i defederate an instance. because, unlike the instance we have just defederated, i like to make sure my users know my full intentions, instead of cowardly defedding someone who just merely objects to something one of my users says.
also, apologies in advance if this wasn't 100% coherent, been having troubles with keeping my mind awake these days, but i hope i got everything across!
