I expect nothing more creative from people who want only "light hearted dick jokes"

No no no we have CORN too! We're totally different (holds up a spork)

I don't think it's a conspiracy, I just think many users have the same desire to avoid unpleasant feelings as the dev. Unfortunately, that just means they sit back and do nothing as most of the queer people are silenced.

It's actually really upsetting and disgusting, but if I made a post fully expressing my frustration, they wouldn't listen. They'd see it as too whiny, preachy, and rude. Then again, if that dev has added me to the list like I asked, they probably won't see this post in the first place.

The not listed want to distract from their failure in life.

Finally, a valid use for Imggen

Yes!

Silently silencing the biggest queer and leftist voices for a bunch of users is quite disturbing the more one thinks about it. What if other frontends secretly do the same thing? What if other open source devs secretly want to control your opinions and speech, influencing you without your knowledge or consent? This is a terrible precedent for the fediverse, and something we absolutely cannot tolerate unless we want it to happen again.

no 😔
