I just basically got kicked off an instance for "undermining" BLM (the admin's words), so you people get to put up with me until I find somewhere else.
@mikey which instance
@realcaseyrollins @mikey lain lol let's all love lain

@Ox
He wasn't technically kicked off, he wanted to use #AllLivesMatter, #PeopleLivesMatter, or #HumanLivesMatter and the admin said if he used it he would be "no longer welcome here"
@mikey
@realcaseyrollins @Ox @mikey i didnt say that? i never implied i was kicking him off and never intended to, i said i dont want those things specifically on the instance as i personally think its unhelpful and harmful, especially during a time like this, and i dont want to facilitate it. please dont twist my words.
@realcaseyrollins @essie @Ox I appreciate the support, but please don't pile on. I respect essie's decision, even if I disagree with it, and I'd like to leave it at that.
@realcaseyrollins @Ox @mikey are you really bored enough to be picking arguments over an amicable disagreement
nice drama fishing but you ought to be more subtle

@realcaseyrollins @essie @Ox Perhaps, but you did have a somewhat accusatory tone. I'm willing to live and let live. Yes, my initial post was passive-aggressive, but that's on me. I respect the LALL admins enough to give them acknowledgments in two of my novels, so I'm not going to antagonize them without cause.
@essie @realcaseyrollins @Ox @mikey saying you disagree with something is wholly different from saying that you want an opinion to be vacated from your instance because you're afraid of being negatively associated with it
i dont find that to be an admirable quality and i hope you're able to give your users more free reign over the opinions they can express, and be able to detach your personal opinions from your administrative duties

@essie @Ox @mikey @realcaseyrollins and before mikey says anything, im not "piling on" here, im taking personal issue with essie's approach. doesnt matter who she did this to, i dont welcome that sort of attitude toward running a platform
@wowaname @Ox @essie @realcaseyrollins That's fair. I only took exception to the tone @realcaseyrollins used, which I perceived as antagonistic and defensive.
@wowaname @essie @mikey @realcaseyrollins well good thing it's not your platform and not your problem then..
@Ox @essie @mikey @realcaseyrollins well good thing i can still express my damned opinion regardless
youre one to indirectly suggest others to shut up

@wowaname @Ox @mikey @realcaseyrollins muting this thread, this is being blown far out of proportion
@essie @Ox @mikey @realcaseyrollins im within my means to disagree with you and still allow you to have whatever opinions i disagree with. thats the point im driving home, somewhat ironically at this point, considering i disagree with your moderation stance
@essie @Ox @mikey It seemed like that based on your toot, that using those hashtags wouldn't be allowed on your instance:
