I feel much less threatened when I get ratio'd by conservative people than when I do by progressives. I blocked almost nobody this last ratio, whereas time before that I blocked everyone. I'm not totally sure why; I think I imagine right-leaning people have less power to hurt me?

To the extent that I worry a mob someday renders me unemployable, turns my neighbors against me, gets the shelter to seize my dog, demands my parents disown me — I'm only really seriously concerned about the left. To all appearances, they're genuinely trying to coerce suicides.

yeah... i'm trying to imagine the right doing this, like the communities I grew up around in Idaho, and I legitimately don't think they ever would have, even though they would be annoying in other ways.

A lot of right-wing communities would shun you until you reformed every visible aspect of your life, but like... shunning would be a welcome escape from the perspective of someone caught in the worst sort of left-wing slash-and-burn, nowhere-to-hide character assassination
