I see you also mention “everyone” doing this and that. This is a fake framing that I particularly wanted to break down. It’s not “everyone”, it’s an enumerable list of people, with an enumerable list of counter-examples, some of them mentioned in the report. I tried to reach really everyone with my post, though, as much, of course, as you can do from exile. After all, nobody has asked, or even told, everyone about the ban itself for starters.

I have no idea what lemmy even is, and I certainly never asked (didn’t even consent to, for what it’s worth) my post to be put here. If you say this is some (self-proclaimed?) leftist social media platform, I’m all the way more baffled what the hell my post is even doing here for starters, or what good it achieves that my post, and by extension me myself, get bantered on terms of culture war, seemingly having no business with the whole story, nor intending to actually look into it.

With this whole emotional bargaining and trolling: the point is simply that I have got treated unfairly, and I have been insulted on multiple occasions, and you just add to it while preaching about “made someone uncomfortable”. It’s time to take emotional responsibility, not just turn into soldier more and execute order 66. These emotional appeals are completely useless, as you yourself demonstrate, having no problem throwing plain biased garbage at me with little to no regard to the evidence. I offered fairness and I think it’s fairly commonsensical to expect fairness in a broader community context, too.

I don’t care about your big words about bigotry and all that, the two of us exist in completely different realms and if there is anything I learned, it’s that these online justice fights make no sense and achieve nothing. All I need to do is demonstrate that not everybody thinks like you do - there; my business is done in this regard.

I’m not trying to get unbanned either - again, just like with you, I have neither any business, nor any reason to assume I could have a meaningful conversation with the people who initiate and enforce these decisions. I did want to make sure to, again, have representation in a case that both deeply affected me personally, and seems quite overboard from a moderate stand point, to the point that I thought there might be others in the broader community (no, not on this lemmy that I didn’t even know about) who see some serious concerns, regardless whether they personally resonate with my position or not.

Anyway, I can assure you that the same people who played a more or less active role in my ban have already gone miles and miles around the same points. I don’t think about people I don’t even know in terms of “mean” and all that - I do think they are demonstrably unfair and dismissive. Ideally, nobody would have even played my role (and as it can be seen, I wasn’t even the first one, and I wouldn’t know whether they are “bigots” or not) because in an ideal world, people self-reflect first and foremost - but then of course when you have people who are unwilling to reflect on very technical matters without degrading the topic into personal beef, you can either just wait for a miracle to happen for another 20 years, or eventually you become the problem.

You won’t find me playing a psychoanalyst online. I didn’t join a tea party or a fan club but a technical project with a supposedly common technical goal. Maybe there are some others left in the Raku community who think similarly, maybe not. In any case, I will make sure to stay away from people who cannot distinguish actual substantial relations and online activity, technical projects from clubs or cliques.
