Open post Kevin Becker @ksbex@infosec.exchange · 47mo ago Replying to @jerry@infosec.exchange <p>People of infosec.exchange:</p><p>I need to ask you a favor. </p><p>There’s a lot of animosity across the fediverse about my decision to allow CISA on infosec.exchange. This situation has people torqued up. I need y’all to bring it down a few notches (inside and outside of Infosec.exchange)</p><p>Please be respectful of those who have different views. Do not harass others or try to convince people their views are wrong. </p><p>I learned a long time ago that you can’t and shouldn’t tell someone that what they’re feeling is wrong: it is literally what THEY are feeling. Respect that, disengage, and move on. </p><p>In the same way that I will not tolerate others in the fediverse harassing our members, I will not tolerate our members harassing people on other instances or our own. </p><p>Please continue being awesome. To those who will be leaving us or blocking us, I wish you well.</p> @jerry@infosec.exchange it’s gonna be a wild ride as all this gets sorted out, but so far from your posts I think I picked the right instance to join. Hopefully dealing with this won’t get to be too much for you.
