A xenophobe is scared "of the others". Usually this means people from another country. But right here, it means the countless users that can't accept other people, simply because they are from another platform. Or better yet, thinking that those users are somehow inferrior because they come from that platform. And better yet, right now the proposition is to "block them all" for no reason whatsoever other than "we are scared of 'them'"
