@ben @zoe I don’t think they run queer.party, the instance itself seems run by good people at first glance. I sent in a report.

@PurpleFriends “white power” is all about the subjugation of others, while “black power” is about the empowerment of all people, starting with the dismantling of the systems that subjugate many, but disproportionately black people.

@PurpleFriends is it, though?

I’m pleasantly surprised that wasn’t taken yet

@Jo yup. When I linked them to my GitLab, here’s what they said:
“About your gitlab subscription: forking does not mean you are contributing. I looked at the Gimp’s git history and I didn’t find one commit from you.”
It’s interesting how GIMP wasn’t mentioned at all in my blog posts, and how they completely looked over all of my other contributions to GNOME.

Someone commented on my blogs.gnome.org blog, which syndicates to planet.gnome.org:
“Now Chrisopher if you don’t mind and if you are really interested by Gnome and FOSS, we – I – would really love to see your code/doc/assets contributions…”
Like, do you not know where you’re commenting?
This is what “meritocracy” gets you. Even when you have more merit than them, a chud will assume you have none if you’re talking about issues that marginalized people face.
Note: this is definitely not anyone within GNOME, and multiple people in GNOME have thanked me for my posts or otherwise shown support.

Everyone Deserves Nice Things
By the way, if you want to help the organization I am partnering with to find housing for families who were detained and separated from their kids at the border, they pay bail and legal fees, transportation, plus housing, and you can donate to them at Immigrant Families Together: https://immigrantfamiliestogether.com/
They're small, and new, but they are making a difference.

@kaikatsu @dtluna yup. Unless dendrite finishes up and is a serious improvement, Matrix’s ecosystem will continue to stagnate until Matrix.org crumbles to dust under it’s own weight

@kaikatsu @dtluna Matrix might get better, but I’m not sure Riot will.
In any case, Matrix will be fully realized when I can open a client and have it sync as quickly as Telegram.

the bourgeois push the narrative that "no-one will work for free" (food, housing, leisure, infrastucture by and for workers/dependents = "for free") because they won't lift a fucking finger for anything that won't make them a profit. fuck that. selfishness isn't "human nature," it's a bourgeois class value

I'm skeptical that "human nature" exists as such, but if it does and we could theoretically discover its properties, we would still have huge methodological problems untangling "human nature" from external conditions.
but selfish, brutal, grasping competition for short-term gain with no regard to common good or the long-term future? that's literally a direct product of capitalism. zero-sum profit-hoarding from underpaying exploited workers is the fundamental M.O. of the bourgeois/capitalist/owning class.
the people whose wealth goes into printing educational materials have a vested interest in making their class-specific motives and behaviors disappear into the generality of "human nature." that's what 'false class consciousness' IS: the working class, duped into accepting the sins and values of their oppressors.

a very cool and completely free way to be an ally to a whole load of kinds of people is to teach your kids, parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, niblings, friends and coworkers not to freaking stare at people because they think they look a bit weird
