Nicklas Johnson 🏳️‍🌈<p>Here's something everyone needs to understand: I make the rules regarding how others are permitted to interact with me. </p><p>If you come at me out of nowhere raging at me, that conversation is going to end immediately. I honestly don't care why you're mad. It doesn't matter. And I don't care if you're progressive, liberal, conservative, or fascist. That conversation is not happening. </p><p>This holds especially true if you're raging at me for nothing other than an accident of my birth. I didn't pick my ancestry. I didn't select my sexual orientation. They are what they are, and if that makes you angry, well too bad. </p><p>You're entitled to your opinions of course. But you are not <em>entitled</em> to interact with me. </p><p>Again, <em>I</em> decide who gets to interact with me and how that interaction is permitted to commence. Chances are if you're able to behave like a nominally civilized human being we'll be fine. If you can't, then it's going to be a very short conversation punctuated by the block button.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/blocking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blocking</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a></p>
