People who put dnis on their posts but only for proshippers make me nervous tbhLike. That’s the one you’re most worried about? Not bigots? Not terfs who are absolutely rampant on this site unfortunately? You know, the two things that used to be on most performative dnis by default? Sure, I don’t think DNIs actually work against anyone who’s truly a problem, but to me it feels so telling that some folks are now not making threats or banners against anything else. It’s a real said the quiet part out loud moment. The quiet part being “I think people who ship stuff I don’t like are worse than actual bigots” or “this message is entirely performative and I don’t actually care about making the world safer for anyone”
I think it’s mostly the performative type.
They don’t expect bigots to be interacting with their posts.
But you know the second a nasty “proshipper” does they’re swinging for the fences.
