The thing that hurts me the most is why it’s not ok for some people to stick around to see what happens, and still be able to keep relationships and communicate with people on other mediums

I genuinely think few view "sticking around" as supporting. The "vote" was a data hostage negotiation. What people _do_ see as "supporting" is people saying "I like this idea" or "I think balaji is making the right decision". Statements which you can find very easily. Snapchain might purge casts that exhaust storage slots. Hypersnap doesn't. We'll always remember.
Of course everyone can do what they like, but the fact that we’re able to speak at all on FC is no thanks to NS. If they had it their way we wouldn’t be speaking on FC at all. So you’re asking me to be ok with the fact that you’re ok if we never spoke again. Before any technicality - that IS my reality with many friends I had on FC, I’ll never speak with them again. Now imagine instead of me, who chose to leave, you were instead speaking to someone who was shadowbanned for things like saying “slut” or criticizing Flock. It makes it so much worse because 1) you didn’t choose this 2) the people who you thought were your friends are totally cool with the person who did this thing you find completely unjust. It’s like if your partner broke up with you for crappy reasons and your best friend was like “well hey I’m still gonna hang out with them”. They are in their rights to do that, but it sure doesn’t give you a warm fuzzy.
