@lambda @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt It honestly doesn't really matter whether it "doesn't anymore".

When someone decides to implement something like this without talking about it to anyone first to understand the potential consequences, and then becomes incredibly defensive when criticized, it clearly signals that they cannot be trusted to account for the safety of marginalized folks, and so it gets defederated.

The problem here is not the specific decision, but all the factors that went *into* that decision, and what it says about all the other decisions they might make.

The "apology" page just reinforces this further - it throws in the good old abuser justification of "if I didn't do this, someone else would have, therefore you shouldn't complain about it so much".
