I type like I talk, and I work with folks in a caregiving capacity who respond well to someone who doesn't sound clinical, who maybe talks like just another person in the community, and here in the southern US, that's a specific accent and affectation... So...

I was replying directly to your post. You said you were playing devil's advocate. I was saying, you don't need to.
It's okay you're still my babe!
(Unless you dislike southern US style terms of endearment. In which case you're still my... uh, m@te.)
Oh no, I know it's my fault. You know I have a folksy, colloquial way of speaking, and I type like I speak.
"Can you imagine?" in this context usually is a scoff or an expression of disbelief.
"Doesn't lend well" here means those two things don't mesh.
Of course I was.
Lemon treats! I make lemon chiffon cupcakes with lemon curd inside and a slice of candied lemon, and it's all brightness and citrus and sour and light and just the best thing!
Would you rather live in a small house in a city, or a big sprawling too-much-space house in the country?
I like m@tes. I would want to stick with the pirate theme and in lots of the world, "mate" is a friend.
Love the idea of assuming we're all on the same side. Because we are.

Anarchists and elitism, can you imagine?
Doesn't lend well.

Oh, hadn't considered that it was a misunderstanding. Those seem so rare nowadays.
I'd argue it wasn't defederated because of one user, it was defederating because of a fundamental disagreement in moderation policies.
The one user could've been saying anything people could find deplorable. It was that the admin chose to be hands-off about it that pulled the trigger.
Which is a good thing, in that servers are allowed to decide how they want to handle moderation, and other server owners are allowed to decide if they accept that, or if they expect the moderation will lead to continued problems of the same vein down the road. The fediverse working as intended.
