@weirdoslam that is literally the best emoji for this.

That take from The Atlantic was so horrifically bad, they published a rebuttal.

Just a reminder that because I use Pleroma I am automatically every awful thing you've heard on the fediverse. All evidence to the contrary is clearly fake news.

Oh my dear God this fucking take is horrid

I mean you can trace the toxic black and white angry culture, indirectly, to three main sources imo:

1) people imitating orgs like the Black Panthers, but not really having any direction, because they're milquetoast militants

2) offshoots of American Communist culture, a long-known toxic hellhole riddled with FBI moles deliberately causing schisms to destroy it

3) influential cause trolls, who found an angry disenfranchised population of angery adolescents

Problematic masto instance: *people block unceremoniously*

Problematic Pleroma instance: *instead of block, let's complain about Pleroma*

Y'all are fucking children when you act like this, just so you know

tfw you try to sympathise with the ACAB people and you really just can't because you would be dead without cops even though you know they're awful

I get some people don't wanna run their own infra but this is what co-ops are for

@awilfox has a cat

their cat got stuck in cat jail

"you gotta get us out of the joint man"

>A transgender person used this bathroom and nothing happened to anyone!!!

... yeah because it wasn't curry night before I used it

Nobody remembers when Masto leaked DM's to GS instances as *public posts*, and it was a preventable problem that could have been mitigated

Nobody remembers when Masto had no post privacy

Nobody remembers when Masto didn't have locked accounts

No one remembers when Gargron actively cooperated with GS users and developers

And nobody remembers when people ignored or downplayed these problems

Because the FUD machine isn't telling you about that

@kaniini a moment of silence for the victims of FUD who forget Masto originally had zero privacy settings and Gargron was opposed to implementing them because they weren't in the spec

And more Pleroma discourse making me upset because apparently using different software makes you an ass. Enough. If you think using Pleroma makes you a bad person by default, you are feeding into the fediverse equivalent of Infowars-style conspiracy theories. You sound just as stupid as the Pizzagate people. Stop co-opting people into your stupid holy war.

There are thousands of instances. Thousands. The IF runs one, the one I use (run by a non-profit who deeply cares what you think). There are many others too, in fact, there's a list:
