re: birdsite vent, furry vent
It's getting to the point where most of furry is doing the digital equivalent of pretending I don't exist just because i'm quad now.
and look, i'll never forget what the [progressive/leftist] furry fandom did to me here. I can't express to you how fucked up it feels to just Not Have A Chance of even interacting with a huge portion of the fandom. It is quite like that stupid black mirror episode where you just get blocked and no one can see or understand you. That's where we're at

@Oneironott If these people are so vindictive and petty they'll block people based on hearsay, they're probably not very nice people anyway, so not much is lost. Even if that mindset is because social media makes outraged conservatives out of everyone.
But I guess that ultimately doesn't change how crappy it feels to see friends-of-friends like that.

@Oneironott Blocklists for altright and gamergaters were a useful development and important during GG's high time but nowadays I just don't know if I can trust them for this very reason.
There was this one blocklist called... BadFurBGone, that while it *touted* that it listed sexual abusers and racists, there was an air of ambiguity that felt open to manipulation and it made me uncomfortable.
re: birdsite vent, furry vent
@Taylor Oh, yeah, i'm on that one. I am almost positive at this point that, as a concept, blocklists have been co-opted by shitty people. it's too easy a tool to use to sow discourse
