I've blocked the individual account Lunduke (npub1jzk…hxs8) from this server for insisting, without evidence, that Imane Khelif is a man, and then going on a rampage about men beating up women because he prefers to believe this to be true. Then trying to engage others to join his unproven rage.
1. A fact is information minus emotion.
2. An opinion is information plus experience.
3. Ignorance is an opinion lacking information.
4. And, stupidity is an opinion that ignores a fact.
People whose posts fall into category 4, as his comments do, are highly likely to be blocked here, and if they are hosted here, to have their accounts terminated because category 4 statements harm people.
There is now pressure on me to block linuxrocks because the Admin is not taking action against the user. Blocking a server breaks connections and impacts people who are caught in the cross fire. I don't block lightly.
I don't like blocking servers that are not created for evil purposes just because I disagree with the Admin on how they run their server. I have no reason to believe that linuxrocks was created to hurt other people.
My advice to the admin there:
This guy is not doing you any favors being on your server. Regardless of whether you feel he has a right to say what he believes, it's your server, and he's perfectly capable of getting his own Mastodon server. You aren't eclipsing his right to free speech by removing him. You have no requirement to fight for him, so he can say whatever comes into his mind.
Without evidence to back up what he says, he is causing other people pain and distress. It gives people a reason to harass other people. Like it or not, you are complicit in this.
It impacts your other users, as your instance seems to becoming blocked by others, you might seriously consider telling him to leave.
Just some advice from one Admin to another.
