Okay, so to clarify...

A handful of hateful white guys will shut down the government because they are upset with another handful of slightly less white guys who won't let them punch poor people in the face again amid one of US history's most significant labor movements.

Hm. Well, ok then 

 Updating #TheBadSpace tweaking before the weekend hits with turning on CSV exports.

This time around, lists can picked based on their Heat Rating, which is the number of actions Sources have taken against an instance. 

For example, if the Heat Rating is 80%, that means 80% of the Current Sources have taken action against an instance by either silencing or suspending the sites on the list.

This adds more flexibility for admins who want to curate their experience.

And the export features are still a work in progress, so please review the lists before using them. 

If there is a site on there that you feel shouldn't be listed, send me #TheBadSpace URL for that instance in a DM and tell me why you think it shouldn't be there and I'll take it to the group to discuss. 

Any rude, aggressive, or racist comments will be ignored and blocked. Keep it peaceful and cordial, and it's all good. 

 You know, despite all the bullshit and hate and harassment that I go through here, it's still a wonder to me that we're talking in real-time all over the world to each other, completely independent of any centralized or corporate platforms.

Unfortunately, some people who lack vision and hope want to use this space to spread their hate and misery, but it can and will be so much more. 

Yeah, it's contentious because it is a great moment of transition for us all as we figure out where we fit in this new paradigm. 

But what a time to be alive. What an incredible thing we are all experiencing together. Right now. 

 The funny part is that the handful of people who reached out privately in good faith to talk to me about #TheBadSpace and its issues quickly realized that 1. I am very open to feedback, and 2. they were wrong for listening to what bigots said about me and should have contacted me in the first place.

It's almost like when you talk to me like a rational person, you get a positive response. 

OR SOMETHING. WEIRD. 

 I hate election season in the US. 

 Biden being the first POTUS in history to visit a picket line is a damning indictment about the States and how the country still views labor it depends on. 

Because that is *wild.* 

 So a few days from now, when more details about #TheBadSpace are revealed, and you realize you are completely wrong about me, the project, and the communities I work with, I'll take all my apologies in cash.

Private messages telling me how sorry you will no longer be accepted. 

Show me. 

 Unity shooting itself in the foot is one of the weirdest stories this year. 

How do you fuck that up?? 

 If you talk shit about me loud and in public, then realize you're wrong, the apology should be loud and public too. 

Keep that same energy.
