  there’s a difference between not being perfect and supporting outing trans children.

    Yet the mob not only punishes for the former, but does it so instance-wide, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of normal users of the instance while the admins moderated that problem on their own.

    Punishing people by transitivity only gets communities so far.

    I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.

    Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.

      almost any time I see someone complaining about a community at large, either that individual is a bigot or said community is and it shouldn’t be difficult to infer my opinion on which is more common

      the age of ‘I’m just asking questions bro’ is over and concern trolling bigots killed it

      we should all well know by now how the paradox of tolerance plays out, one way or the other
