<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> Wow. I&#39;ve been having thoughts lately... I run an instance that&#39;s here for off-road and outdoor types. Through that instance i&#39;ve connected with a new admin who has started his own instance for outdoors and firearm enthusiasts. </p><p>He has not received anything like a warm welcome here on the fedi. maybe you can guess why. </p><p>I worry that he&#39;s going to give up, or just get defederetated into oblivion. </p><p>It&#39;s like the fedi is only truly welcome for those who don&#39;t disagree with certain principles. and that&#39;s a bit sad. i understand the desire to keep low value speech and hate speech at bay. but i sometimes think we&#39;re looking for it. </p><p>I hope you find peace, and i hope you can find a way to remain on the fediverse. We&#39;re better when everyone feels welcome.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> Sorry to hear about the problems. Possibly because of following a small number of people, I was oblivious until a few days ago. I had bailed from Twitter (now X), &amp; fosstodon sounded like a good match due to having written a reasonably large Java class library and some applications that use it. I didn&#39;t know about a &quot;no politics&quot; rule - the &#39;Explore&#39; section shows political comments from other instances and it is not clear if a reply to those is OK or not.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> Thanks for disregarding the actual issue, and clearly showing a lack of judgment. Sorry now that I defended this instance in the past.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kev" class="u-url mention">@<span>kev</span></a></span> Man, I am so sorry to hear this. I have always thought you guys were super reasonable and fair so I can&#39;t imagine there&#39;s anything justifiable about this other than people being extremists.</p><p>That said, I am on the HOA board of my community, and there are people here that are going to cause us to take legal action against them so…</p>
