Frustrated by whitelisting discussions 

Listen.

If you want Mastodon to be a space where people feel safe from harassment, then don't shit on the tools they use for that, okay?

Unless you only mean people should protect themselves in ways you find comfortable. Which isn't the same thing.

whitelisting discourse, bitterness & frustration 

@starkatt This whole argument is extremely assumptive of many things in ways that are intensely frustrating to me.

Like, I guess people just assume that Mastodon instances run themselves, and that the blacklisting method of quality control isn't a full time job for a large team of people requiring 24 hour coverage and more effective moderation tools than Mastodon currently provides

Nah, "they're just toxic" yeah that's prolly it
