@welshpixie

let's see how long it takes for my instance to get blocked by .art 💀

@lunasother any particular reason we should?

@welshpixie well i think are0h is a clown so i'm sure you'd love to spam fediblock talking about my instance ❤️

@lunasother 1) Point to me spamming fediblock ever,
2) Point to me using fediblock to call out anyone re. this stuff with TBS or Ro

I'll hold off blocking you from .art so you can get back to me

@welshpixie

@lunasother uh huh, uh huh

So just the racism, then?

@welshpixie you dont even know my race what are you on about

@lunasother Your race isn't what matters. What matters is that your behavior fits a pattern that is racist.

"Racist" isn't just a mean name to call someone, it's a label for systems and patterns which are very easy to spot. It's about your behavior, not your identity.

@bright_helpings @lunasother ok but what part of her behavior is racist? be specific. what pattern of her behavior discriminates people based on race?

@bright_helpings those are some wild mental gymnastics there.
besides, what behavior? thinking that one specific black person is a clown? that's racist behavior?

@lunasother It can be. But if it's accompanied by your claim that .art has no other reason for defedding, if you're trying to delegitimize well-documented principles of anti-racism on an instance with the stated aim of keeping its marginalized users safe, then yeah that fits the pattern of racist behavior! Hope that helps.

Also just bothering her about this. Attempts to wear down and waste the time of people fighting bigotry is a well-known tactic.

@bright_helpings fighting bigotry != thinking marginalized people can do no wrong. hope that helps!

@lunasother lol yeah that's definitely what I said.

@bright_helpings you said welshpixie is fighting bigotry, while what she's doing is defending ro just because he's black, and calling anyone who doesnt racist

@lunasother Baseless claims like this, when all the evidence says otherwise, is racism too!

@bright_helpings this is going nowhere and i have better things to do at 9:20PM, so all im going to say is ive never discriminated against anyone, especially not on the basis of their race.

@lunasother I know it’s hard not to argue with stupidity, but you should try for your own well-being. Anyone who reviews this thread and sees you as being racist has their head as far up their ass as @bright_helpings proved he does. WP is a bad actor, and this is proven by her desire to forego sound argument, and rather seek to intimidate. I am seeing your instance blocked repeatedly, and nothing could be more asinine than people following the recommendation without doing their homework. 🫂

@victor wait there's instances that are actually blocking mine?
