It's the automated crap that really gets me fired up. Just like block lists on fedi. Sure, I might call someone a retard, and that's offensive and impolite. Feel free to tell me or just send me a middle finger emoji and move on.

I also might have the solution to your major problem because I get up to all sorts of random shit. Blocking me automatically and permanently because I called someone a dimwit a year ago hurts you, not me. People should stop hurting themselves. Don't support this centralized control bullshit. We can be better and stronger than that.
