   Thinking about it, I'm not opposed to reconciling with anyone or an instance.

   But here's the thing. You gotta be real about what took place. And a lot of people on here just aren't.

   I don't block instances for differences of opinion. You can believe whatever you want. I block instances because they *enable harm*.

   And if I'm telling you certain behaviors invite shitty people to come at us, stop doing it. Period.

   But a lot of folks don't want to be honest about how complicit they are.

      We all make mistakes and that's fine, but what I look for is patterns of behavior. If you have a certain pattern that you've been made aware of and don't make any effort to address it, it's intentional.

      As far as PV goes, this has to be acknowledged in an authentic way and work must be done to have a chance an building something positive with an instance that has enabled shitty behavior.

      And no instance that we've blocked has made a genuine effort to make amends. None.

         So when I see known bigot say 'oh if they come to me, we can talk it out' I kinda just laugh because 1. we don't need you, 2. we don't need you and 3. they started the shit in the first place, so it's not on us to make them feel better about being dickheads so they can RECONCILE with us.

         From PV's perspective, it's all a shell game played by people who want the benefit of having POCs on the marketing material, but don't care about our actual perspectives.

         Ha, and we know what that is.

            PV is not here to make temperamental white people feel better about their shallow commitment to make safe spaces for POCs.

            PV is not here to coddle white insufferableness in the hopes they may come around and be marginally decent people.

            We are more than open to building bridges with anyone that wants to build positive communities, but that does not include satiating the white gaze and it's need to exercise bigotry with no consequence.

            Respect and safety is non-negotiable at PV.
