i think the issue is that peeps are treating the eris thing as a black and white issue. i dont blame you for fediblocking disqordia. she is a problematic individual at times. i too, have silenced her instance temporarily.
a lot of the evidence presented to me contains lingo that i dont fully understand. i dont know who a lot of these people are, but i will admit that i am seeing a lot of dogwhistles.
but also, the people who are threatening me for even associating with eris dont really sound that great to side with either and are basically telling me to "fall in line or suffer the consequences" without actually thinking things through.
the other thing is, when i ask for the evidence to be explained to me in detail, because i dont actually understand whats going on in the screenshots, im told thati should, by default, understand the evidence. and that me not understanding the evidence is, itself, problematic.
@ashten people can be complex creatures. this is usually a good thing :blobcatmelt:
i wouldn't worry about the unreasonable people. they run an 'all or nothing politics all the time' game. trying to appease them will only end in suffering. and these people see dog whistles everywhere like they do nothing else but study ways to get offended.
try to be decent when you can. it's the only thing we can really do.
