this is the instance admin defending rape. I don't think anything else needs to be said.

It does appear that that individual is not fit to be an admin.
As though conviction equates to guilt???

@MutualityWSDEs @thufie I like this way of arguing against people making such a distinction!
instance block rec / nonconsent
It just seems tone death to the realities of the legal system.
How is such a person then in a role of potentially adjudicating disputes?
I had a similar run in with an admin on the big science Instance. The levels of Liberal White Supremacism were shocking: I talked about Whiteness and my account was frozen until I proved my scientific credentials.
Fortunately I joined in error as I didn't understand the process of Instances etc...

That person seems to be the only human user of their own instance so I believe this is irrelevant to the discussion.

A self dictatorship?

@MutualityWSDEs @thufie they will not do any conflict resolution on their instance, that is what I mean.

I barely understand Instances, to be honest.

@MutualityWSDEs @thufie an instance is a fediverse server where one can have an account. instances can talk to each other or not, which determines if the users of those instances can interact or not. the instance admins decide this based on content other instances allow.

Thanks.

@MutualityWSDEs @thufie for example, allowing any of the following content could lead to admins blocking instances:
• sex work
• (loli?) hentai
• anti-LGBT, e.g. TERFs
• harassment
• spam

@MutualityWSDEs @thufie oh yeah & I forgot nazis. how could I?
I think nazi instances mostly talk to other nazi instances & some admins block other instances for not blocking the nazi instances even.

So you are talking about a kind of meta-admins, because surely specific Instances have their own internal admins? That's who blocked me from where I was.
Ignore all that, I'm with you now: local admins block Instances from connecting with their Instance.

@leth @bootie_fringe could you trust me as a woman who has heard several guys trying to talk their way out of sexual assault using excuses which are right out of rape culture on college campuses that this shit is their trademark?
Short rebuttal introducing mild uncertainty + link to blog post trying to reframe it in a less serious light is fucking textbook. Don't buy it for a second.

@leth @bootie_fringe the article linked provides no evidence and if someone is disputing sexual assault then they better provide some actual hard facts or get the banhammer without a moment's hesistation, is what I think. Especially when making clear use of a misogynistic dogwhistle.

@leth @bootie_fringe quite frankly, the fact that you have dragged this out so long makes me consider blocking you as well, but I'm going to be very generous and assume you REALLY didn't know.

re: instance block rec / nonconsent
@thufie According to the instance "about" page it has 984 statuses, according to the guy's profile he has 983… I think it's safe to call it a single-user instance.

@thufie just to clarify, is the “Accused rapist doesn't make him a convicted rapist.” sentence generally considered dogwhistling?
