So, great work fediverse, you've shown you can be as toxic as the site you're making so much fun of.
@ainmosni Still not remotely the same. Making call-and-response jokes, or asking someone to make a statement about their abuser "best friend", etc. are not comparable to death threats, or to being blocked by half of Twitter by "mistake" for simply existing, or to being constantly invalidated by aggressively clueless randoms. If Wil had *started* with the apology instead of half-heartedly ending with it, maybe people could forgive him.
@trwnh From what I read, he has never targeted trans people and when he realised what was happening, he tried to fix it. Of course, his mistake did damage and that damage shouldn't be downplayed, but people should be allowed to make mistakes and learn from them, it's what makes us human. If social media will just be people mobbing each other for mistakes, maybe we should just give it all up.
The only question I have of you is, do you think he was acting in bad faith?

@walruslifestyle @ainmosni you know what, i'm really not interested in in paying any attention to hillary clinton, let alone anything else about the us political theatre -- but in good faith, i did search his comments on clinton and found only "a disappointing democrat", "deeply flawed", "lacks political courage", "a warmonger", "too close to wall street" -- all things that are frankly uncontroversial, and i would in fact say he is not going far enough with his analysis.
