While I agree when their jackassery is due to them being a racist/misogynist/homophobe/etc. that letting them stick around is a good sign the rest of those in power are also terrible, sometimes they are just a jackass because of having an abrasive personality or jumping into conversations and being annoying about some subject they care too much about. Think less malicious and more juvenile to the point that blocking them is necessary to enjoy the rest of the community.
I have found zero tolerance means that no place will be acceptable. But yes, if blocking is due to them being hateful then it isn’t worth sticking around.

No, I don’t think I will. If a mod survives long enough being an asshole (and I mean AN ASSHOLE, not just someone I disagree with) then I see no reason to believe in the admins of that instance.

I mean, that’s the whole point of the Fediverse, if you don’t like some instance just switch to another or host your own, the later isn’t an option for me so I pick the instance that seem more acceptable for me (rules and federated instances usually dictate it) and I’ve already jump ship from one on my own. If you think that implies “zero tolerance” then sure, I have “zero tolerance”, but if something if allowed to go south enough I don’t see a reason to stick around.

Looks like we have different definitions of what makes someone an asshole, but are otherwise in agreement.
