This is the worst of it to me. I never expected the kind of standards from LTT that I did from Gamers Nexus, but it was entertaining and they seemed like nice people. Now not so much.
I think the ideal way to interface with open registration communities would be to have a registration process where they can access beehaw from that server after they've filled out an application just as we did to be able to join here. I'm not a coder, but I think that wouldn't be too challenging a feature.
I'm not excited about losing access to a bunch of communities on the fediverse. I'm not excited about needing a 2nd account if I want to avoid this. I hope a resolution can be found to roll this back without causing the admins too much pain.
I don't really like the explanation for Tu Quoque. Tu Quoque is an appeal to hypocrisy. For instance you want me to believe in climate change, but you drive a car or Al Gore flies private jets.
Whether or not something is true doesn't require the person telling you about it to have a lifestyle that's perfectly aligned with that information. You can be a hypocrite and correct. I would prefer to be a correct hypocrite than an incorrect non-hypocrite. At least the hypocrite knows there's something that needs to be done.
I also prefer false choice or false dichotomy over black and white for that one, but that's just me being picky. Black and white is just as good a descriptor for it. I do really like the infographic. It's nice to have them all in one place.
Thanks! I just bought one!
