I caution the team at Fosstodon to reflect on whether modifying your CoC to reduce the apparent protection people have from systemic oppression—either by taking language out or by cabining it—will promote your goal of a welcoming, inclusive community.

Taking a step backwards on that commitment is tantamount being more hostile to classes of people you claim to want in your community.

This is the consequence, I suppose of borrowing CoC language to create an illusion of being more than you are.

If your Code of Conduct team is overwhelmingly straight white guys guided by straight white guys, your CoC is probably worthless.

You need a variety of threatened minorities on your CoC team, and you need to listen to them.

Double CW for ableist terms, I'm going to criticize an ableist pattern I see and use them to illustrate.

Like Ive already said, if youre upset about how ppl *react* to racism, homophobia etc more so than the oppression, you're the problem, not the rest of us.

Whilst you park yourself in ppls mentions telling them to be nicer, that does nothing for a political and social shift, you're just telling us to lay down and accept the oppression and violence you supposedly hate yourself.

Back to front, cognitive dissonance, call it when you want, you allow our oppression

Just confirming that we now also have a placeholder account on birdsite here: https://twitter.com/glimpse_editor

You can also contribute to the costs of domains/server hosting for our tools here: https://www.patreon.com/glimpse

In the next couple of days we will hopefully have a Matrix server and a website so the community can share more information about this project. #Glimpse

from now on it should be called "soccer" and "men's soccer"

Hey y'all, just another reminder that my girlfriend and I will become homeless as of 7/15. We'll be crashing with friends while we try to save.

Not to sound desperate but please donate and/or boost if you can
