vague meta grumbling
With how much bullshit and abuse queer communities already have to endure from fascists and the like, it would be nice if those queer communities made a bit more of an effort to constructively resolve conflicts between said communities, instead of trying to eat each other for marginal differences in personal views.
Like, sure, you don't have to interact with people you don't like, and this isn't an argument against eg. fediblocking, but the amount of abuse I sometimes see flying from communities trying to 'defend' themselves from something that isn't actually a threat, is concerning.
Please *talk to* people first and understand why they do what they do, instead of making assumptions about them and mounting entire campaigns based on that.
(This is almost certainly not about whatever conflict you may be thinking of, but it probably does apply there too. I'm being deliberately vague here because there's no point in calling out a specific case.)
vague meta grumbling (2)
Clarification: "racism", "fascism", etc. are obviously not "marginal differences in personal views" and are not what I'm talking about here.
One would hope that that's obvious, but I'm adding this to make sure that the Usual Suspects don't try to use this post as ammo to try and shut up criticism. Which I'm not arguing for anyway, by the way, genuine criticism is fine.
