    @xaetacore @Saorsa optics is a stupid argument. You wouldn't scream nigger in a public square because niggers would jump and assault you (unless of course you were armed and were ready to defend yourself with lethal force, but good luck explaining that one in court since White Americans no longer get to use the benefits of the first and second amendments); that scenario has no chance of happening on the internet. I also haven't directly called anybody a nigger here, I have only used the gamer word in exactly the context you're speaking of. If it's the frequency of which I am using it, then I am afraid we may be coming to an impasse.

    All about having the tact to know the time and place when dropping an occasional gamer word in a manner that won't cause any friction with people in and around our instance. Keeping our communication polite and PG-13 is the small price we pay for visibility and reach. Otherwise, we risk becoming another containment zone like poa.st.

      @Saorsa @xaetacore You already committed to becoming a containment zone when you decided to allow it at all. Leftoids do not care about dosage. Optics is a game you cannot win at, you can only lose if you play.

        Part of our mission statement for the instance is to allow our users to exercise the full range of their speech and expression with the stipulation that expletives aren't made common place. This is strike a balance between our autonomy and anti-censorship while keeping a good rapport with other instances and their operators.

        I'm empathetic to your circumstances however as I have found myself in the same position on numerous occasions. Provided the frequent use of slurs isn't a deal breaker for you, you are more than welcome stick around with us on the instance.

          @MacGuffin @Saorsa Other than poa.st,nicecrew.digital and DRC i dont really know many other natsoc instances, misskeyhub used to have a server list but it has been down for a while now unfortunatly, if i knew any i would have given one to you since i dont want you to leave empty handed and i do want you to find a place that is more fit for you. or where you would feel more at home.

          We do not have any hard feelings towards you i hope we did not come over like that.

          @xaetacore @Saorsa You're choosing to turn away everybody in hopes that maybe the leftoid instances don't see the rare nigger word on your instance and don't block you, or the rare leftoid who strays from one of these instances in an attempt to check you out never sees it and stays. I truly do not understand the optics game and I am saddened that you've chosen to play it, because it's not something you can gain with, unless your goal is to remain small and irrelevant and a satellite instance of places that do allow it unabated.

            @MacGuffin @Saorsa Any instance on this list can go fuck themselves https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=neondystopia.world
            We moderate on a case by case basis and if half the fediverse blocks us but we can still provide a home for people regardless of their affiliation or walk of life then so be it

              @xaetacore @Saorsa right, these places were going to block you anyway, it wasn't a matter of if, but when. Optics. Will. Not. Get. You. Anywhere. I've been around the block with the fedi. I have a history with it since 2018 with the Gab collapse. You know why poa.st has stuck around so long? They don't care about optics. Optics destroys instances or turns them into unusable leftoid shitholes. You have to choose.

                  It is our belief that there is an on-going crisis with the politicization of online communities across various hobbies and interests. We acknowledge that free speech absolutism can attract an audience that may skew the neutrality of our community in a particular direction that may isolate prospective members and risk becoming an echo chamber.
                  You may have already experienced the very same as we have with predominantly liberal communities where you may have not felt very welcome due to the discrepancies between the values held. We hope to avoid that outcome by offering an supplementary advisories that can be voluntarily followed alongside our rules.

                  We wish for our community to be a place where anyone and everyone can feel comfortable to participate without feeling alienated and disenfranchised.

                        @Saorsa @xaetacore I haven't broken any of these "supplemental advisories". Again, your complaint here is the fuzzy "tact" (aka optics). Is it tacky to repeatedly say nigger? Sure, I acknowledge that. This desire to be le heckin' wholesome chungus site that only occasionally says the gamer word (because we're just above that, unlike le ebil nazis) will just lead you to being declared "poa.st-lite" and blocked by the same exact people regardless. It's a completely pointless hill to stand on.

                          @MacGuffin @Saorsa Your first introduction is to say everything you hate including multiple slurs not long after you proceed to throw around more gamer words https://neondystopia.world/notes/al1b7i53hzi306jo

                          You are fully in your right to say these things but honestly the volume of which you use them reflects very poorly upon our community and i know plenty of people that even greet me with the word nigger but that would not be using it as much as this.

                          Like i mentioned before nicecrew or poast would be a better fit because they align more with your needs but in this community this kind of behavior scares away any new members and may cause some of our existing members (who fall in your list of hatred) away and that could cost us our community something we worked hard and long to build, please consider that before you talk about optics again

                            We don't expect to placate political radicals on the opposite poles of the political spectrum. We want to occupy a comfortable middle ground where we can have reasonable coverage across most of the Fediverse. If that means we end up getting fediblocked or admonished by either, then so be it.

                              @xaetacore @MacGuffin @Saorsa I think you should simply add a rule to not use slurs and be done with it. This concern trolling and tone policing is incredibly gay and a waste of both your time and the time of those you are policing. You have accepted the leftist definition of what is acceptable and therefore you are, for every intent and purpose, a leftist yourself. You're just an unwilling dhimmy leftist rather than a zealous and enthusiastic true believer leftist.

                                We don't expect to placate political radicals on the opposite poles of the political spectrum. We want to occupy a comfortable middle ground where we can have reasonable coverage across most of the Fediverse. If that means we end up getting fediblocked or admonished by either, then so be it.

                                @Saorsa @xaetacore this is nothing more than wishful thinking. I get why you want that, but by being any further right (see: "middle") than the common leftoid instance on the fedi, you are seen as
                                Exactly
                                The
                                Same
                                as an instance like poa.st.
                                You are naïve. This desire is pure naivety.

                                    @xaetacore @Saorsa I couldn't give a fuck less about politics, ask @deadlift, he's known me for 12 years. All I'm here for is exactly what's in the mission statement (and well within your instance's rules), the only discrepancy here is frequency. How many times am I allowed to use the gamer word per day? Once? 2.3 times? 0.4 times?

                                      @deadlift @MacGuffin @Saorsa we have been very patient with this and have explained our position in great depth and our wishes for this community. And if you don't think you fit in this picture, then, please find a place that better fits your definition of a proper community. Because clearly, by your definition, we are not.

                                      There are other things in life than politics. Not every thing is about politics. I get sick of people that are overly obsessed with politics. Because they can only think one certain way

                                        @xaetacore @MacGuffin @Saorsa What do I care how 'patient' you have been? That's just another way of saying how much of your time and my time you have wasted. Stop wasting time both now and in the future and add the rule. If I follow the rules I don't want to get a homosexual spiel about how my tone is wrong. That's the purpose of having rules.

                                          @MacGuffin @Saorsa Your first introduction is to say everything you hate including multiple slurs not long after you proceed to throw around more gamer words https://neondystopia.world/notes/al1b7i53hzi306jo
                                          Causing you to be blocked not even a day in your member ship https://neondystopia.world/notes/al1bsjpjhzi306la
                                          Then we have this pos https://neondystopia.world/notes/al1kvzfuhzi3076w
                                          You are fully in your right to say these things but honestly the volume of which you use them reflects very poorly upon our community and i know plenty of people that even greet me with the word nigger but that would not be using it as much as this.

                                          Like i mentioned before nicecrew or poast would be a better fit because they align more with your needs but in this community this kind of behavior scares away any new members and may cause some of our existing members (who fall in your list of hatred) away and that could cost us our community something we worked hard and long to build, please consider that before you talk about optics again

                                          @xaetacore @Saorsa I don't care about being blocked. I'm also completely unashamed.
