I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.
Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.
Yet the mob not only punishes for the former, but does it so instance-wide, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of normal users of the instance while the admins moderated that problem on their own.
Punishing people by transitivity only gets communities so far.
So, the usual “on the Fediverse you shalln’t be anything less than immaculately perfect” crap?
don’t openly be a biggot doesn’t seem that hard

there’s a difference between not being perfect and supporting outing trans children.
