you have got to be fucking kidding me

So, the town shut down the farmers market due to 'unruly protests' instead of removing the Nazi group.

And so, a local store across town opened up their giant parking lot for a "farmers association" and had a new farmers market across town.

This one covered in pride flags and loudly proclaiming safety to minorities in Bloomington.

If your structure makes it incredibly difficult to suspend a user/instance, with lots of reasoning and debate and counterarguement either publicly, or with the reporting user, your structure is inherently ableist, and you've probably already retraumatized someone.
Sorry.

block piggo.space for being the private server of a transphobe (whos username is piggo)

Hey y'all. My girlfriend is helping out with summer camp at her church and is deeply hurt because the church, which is usually so accepting, is insisting on deadnaming a 4 year old trans girl. She's told the leadership that this bothers her and they've said they're willing to talk with her. She wants to bring resources to demonstrate why this is so bad. She's mentioned scientific studies, but I was wondering if anyone out there could provide some trans voices on the issue. TIA!

And as a server we made a promise to our users when they signed up. We promised that we'd protect them from harm.

When users then, from say gab, make accounts on OTHER SERVERS, to circumvent our blocks, they are proving our point.

Person A: "What is speleology"
Person B: "The study of caves. Here's a wikipedia link if you want to learn more."
Person C: "Wikipedia isn't a reliable source@!@!!!!"

Me: I wish people would stop mistaking "don't use this as an academic source for citations in a paper" with "this is not a reliable source for getting an overview of what something is." For non-controversial topics, Wikipedia is rarely inaccurate, and controversial topics are typically flagged.

Please don't use 'derp' with me. It's commonly used to insult disabled people, and uses perceptions of intellectual disability as a device to insult people. Unlike a lot of other ableist words (see: moron, idiot, stupid, dumb), it's not one which has a strong history in common lexicon, a defence often used for using them.

The emoji for example has eyes wide apart (common depiction of downs) and mixed with the word 'derp' it has ugly connotations.

I'll never be ok with it.

Surprising probably nobody, the self proclaimed "Feminist" Gab instance, spinster.xyz, is anything but. :blobrollingeyes:
