wow, I may have to move instances; my personal ethics of communication are quite divergent from this policy

@TedUnderwood That's the beauty of the Fediverse. If you don't feel like you fit the instance you're on, you can go look for another one you think will be a better fit.

@telliott @TedUnderwood We place a high value on protecting queer people and other minorities here at Scholar and a very low value on building personal brands, reaching a maximally wide audience, infinite growth or "scale"

If you do not require this protection, it may seem overbearing and unnecessary, and another server may be a better fit, that's your choice

But you're also welcome here
