Red Flags
TootCat will block individuals and instances who persistently raise these flags:
- Punching down: it's not okay to punch down, and it's okay to call out people who are doing it.
- In general, "punching down" means criticizing people who are underprivileged or have less power than you.
- Examples:
- making fun of nontraditional pronouns [1]
- deliberately misgendering someone, especially a trans person
- Using "free speech" as an excuse (free speech trolling)
- Freedom of speech just means the government can't stop you from saying things.
- It does not mean freedom from consequences if you say something obnoxious or hurtful.
- It does not mean that any private venue is required to give you a platform.
- One opinion is not as good/valid as any other if one of them is harmful.
