That's totally okay! You don't need to understand. :) The admins are simply asking users not to "take it to the streets," so to speak, as it can make the whole instance feel more uncomfortable and toxic. They encouraged us to report and block users who were causing issues, which we did, so those users are now banned. This way, we avoided creating unnecessary discourse and potential honeypots for bigotry, which is really the main idea here.

Or anyone else's streets, apparently.

Preemptive bans are preemptive bans. Not the first time or server where this has happened, not the last. 👍

Gotta pre-empt someone who's already left. Very important.

Gotta defend your actions in the eyes of an admin you treat as despotic and whom you vowed to leave behind months ago. Very important. ;)

Ada wasn't involved in the conversation at all before the bans. And I hadn't posted on Blahaj since 'months ago'. Which are amongst many reasons why this whole incident is weird.
