It’s true that as a lemmy.ml admin, I’m not going out of my way to make this an inclusive space for traditional family values. I have different priorities for whom I make this space inclusive.
Oh, this all makes sense now.
Inclusive for me but not for thee
Rarely see it spelled out that clearly, I think that's a huge issue with modern "progressivism".
Progressivism has no inherent need to be all-encompassing. In fact, keeping certain groups *cough conservatives cough* not included is an essential part of successful progressivism.
You're referring to the tolerance paradox, and I completely agree with that, but I don't think that's what happened here.

So implying that name by marriage still implies ownership, excludes me, a man that wants to fly the banner of his wife's clan.
You aren't supporting your "different priorities" very well.
