@maple @bootsy and forcing things like that, because Sylveon as a species is like 88% male or something high like that, reads as "cute males aren't allowed to exist, if they do they're not male, they're trans"

Which is just reinforcing the binary idea of masculinity...

Please stop with "Sylveon is trans". It's enby-exclusionary and you're also reinforcing garbage gender binary stereotypes in the process.

Let cute boys exist, and stop trying to make an entire species your poster child.

@esp *hugs tight*

I feel like my feelings on this are so contrary to everybody else's and that really doesn't help the anxiety every time it pops up again tbh

@bootsy *headpatpat*

just what I needed to wake up to

god at this rate I'm going to associate sylveon with gender related stress and I don't want that

@bootsy so is this gonna become your main, now?

@Elizafox the argument is so old it's started to rust

*sleepy doggirl splays across your timeline*

@kaniini one final little thing: kline_cmd in the example config shouldn't have single quotes around it, I don't think; the single quotes wind up in the output and our IRC server didn't like them

after fixing that I got to sit back and watch the bot do its first ban. thanks <3

@kaniini likewise your script is looking for 'host' 'hostname', but the example config uses 'host' 'host'

(was wondering why it kept going to the wrong address...)

@kaniini oh, uh... your script references 'target' 'ip', but your example config uses 'target' 'host'.

@kaniini the setup for your IRC bot seems a bit weird? What exactly is the "target" host and port?

@Felthry it's okay, I just couldn't stay around, had to go back to work

@Felthry I know, it sucks really bad, but I don't know of any way to "fix" that that wouldn't lead to things being worse for the people blocking

*offers a hug*

@Felthry (sorry, can't see replies while I'm typing on mobile x-x)

Unfortunately there's ... no real way of knowing what you did wrong short of asking them, and that in and of itself causes issues so

@Felthry oh right, you're on awoo.space. Check the list of instances on /about/more, first, before assuming that

@Felthry They have you blocked, most likely
