 They will have no choice but to see them. It’s bullying and gross 🤢 Not everyone should be expected to support barbarians. Not everyone has the same abilities nor strengths. To me it’s a shame you don’t see this the same way. Maybe you lack empathy or lack ability to consider others.

 I repeat again, overly sensitive people should restrict themselves to gated communities. Average internet user can withstand some "barbarians", especially in social networks such as Twitter and Bluesky, which are public like Greek agoras by design.

 But it's not gated, I just registered there. Looks like Twitter btw, even some icons in sidebar are the same.

 I’ve stated my reasoning above. If some keyboard warriors want to force feed their “information” with bots 🤖, APIs etc it’s no different than what Elon did to X. 

People confuse human rights & free will. It’s typical. Just because something can be done … should it?

 "gated community"

It sounds like they want a Discord chat, not a free and open source decentralized social network. You can't be a public square and a gated community. 🤯 Is that really what people think?

For the record my original post is tongue in cheek, I do not think people should be harassed. But they will complain they're being harassed no matter what.
