@marcan@treehouse.systems @autumn can&#39;t find the exact quote, but recently I&#39;ve seen this summarized as &quot;your community standards are set by the biggest asshole you won&#39;t ban&quot;.

@p4@masto.ai @marcan@social.treehouse.systems @autumn@labyrinth.zone In some cases they're set by the biggest asshole who owns the community

@p4@masto.ai @marcan@social.treehouse.systems @autumn@labyrinth.zone I've associated that quote with general Morrison's 2013 message to the Australian military about disrespect towards women in the service¹ ²: "the standard you walk past is the standard you accept" ¹: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Morrison#Women_in_the_military ²: https://en.m.wikiquote.org/wiki/David_Morrison#Message_regarding_unacceptable_behaviour_(2013)

@p4@masto.ai @marcan@social.treehouse.systems @autumn@labyrinth.zone Recently I've remembered "The standard you walk past is the standard you accept."
