I might not be understanding something about the fediverse, but isn't this like if you couldn't send or receive email from a friend because you use gmail Google decided to block @icloud domains?

Like, you're not forced to follow or interact with it, and are free to block it if you can think of a reason to, I just don't see why such an open platform used to limit users in this way

Well, this was extremely disappointing. Only one person had a helpful reply, pointing to this link explaining the basics, a couple others vaguely gestured about their distaste of Meta, and everyone else demonstrated an even lesser understanding of the fediverse than I had started with. One particular flat-earther just called me a slag and posted a screenshot of themselves downvoting all my comments.

When did anyone disagree with me? Using "autistic" as a pejorative is more revealing oof your character than mine. Good luck!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Believe it or not I didn't mean it as a pejorative and I was literally asking. I continue to perceive the comment-in-question as having low self-awareness but tbh, who cares. But if I'm honest with myself I did intend to be rude when I wrote my comment and I don't believe anyone benefits when I write in that state of mind. So I apologize for that.

I find nothing wrong with being autistic besides that it entails additional challenges that folks face when dealing with allistic people and vice versa. But we understand it a bit more each day.

Or people checked your comment history and saw that your first ever comment was to vote against defederation, and you haven't done anything besides drop pseud-posts whenever people expressed their desire not to federate with Threads. That does not look like good faith engagement to me.
