Mastodon and the challenges of abuse in a federated system

Wil does admit to some of it: "And for what it’s worth, the part of me that wants to apologize to the people who ended up [the blocklist] by mistake is overwhelmed by the part of me who was attacked really viciously by a lot of those people and feels like maybe blocking them wasn’t such a bad idea, after all."

That directly supports the narrative that he publicly blocklisted some innocent people, hasn't apologised and is being mobbed for it.

I love how he says "by mistake" as if he didn't personally add a bunch of people to his blocklist deliberately simply because he was mildly annoyed by them.

Hey Wil, when you personally are responsible for taking away the livelihood of a bunch of marginalized people, you don't get to complain about being "attacked really viciously" by your victims.
