"users of this site are organizing literal violent pogroms that actually kill people"

"but what IS a pogrom, anyway? isn't the real pogrom when you defederate from gab, huh?"

so the american psychological association has been researching polyamory/"consensual non-monogamy" and they have this amazing group related to it that sounds way to hyper for what it is

@dankwraith Elon Musk is a genius for inventing an underground tunnel that electric cars can transport people through on predetermined routes with the possibility of staying charged along the way.

Nothing like this has ever been attempted before.

futurists really out here inventing wacky bullshit people moving technology when trains buses and bicycles are just sitting right there

You don't even for once consider the fact these ppl have jobs in which their bigotry affects other ppls lives, their childrens lives, their health, their education, their access to services.

Black women die at high rates giving birth bc of bigotry, students are sexually assaulted & given gag orders when they report it, I can go on.

You dont have the range but assume that you do, that's how your white maleness works.

I am for one, tired of debating my existence to others. Which is what the convo's always boil down to. You can yell at me until you are blue in the face that they deserved to be heard, as if that does nothing to my mental health, bc again, they want to let me know that I have no right to exist, fundamentally.

You think that me defederating does more harm? It doesn't. It keeps me sane & healthy. ++

It doesn't ever occur to, particularly white cis hetero men, that for someone such as myself, 'debate' or 'hearing other views' has been a part of my life since childhood.

Frankly, debating issues regarding race or sexuality isn't an academic like adventure that happens within this neat little controlled environment.

This has been a near everyday experience w bigots. ++

@kyzh Not to mention, "juche" is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche

"Juche is the official state ideology of North Korea, described by the government as Kim Il-sung's "original, brilliant and revolutionary contribution to national and international thought"."

Speaking as an ex-channer: North Korea's government is "jokingly" held in high regard by that flavor of fascist on a regular basis, making that instance's domain name alone a positively gigantic dogwhistle.

Time for some sort of federated Etsy alternative, I see.

Etsy's screwing both vendors and buyers by pressuring vendors to include shipping in item price. Prices go up, no way to accommodate for different regional shipping, and Etsy's "cut" goes up as they then get to take a share of the shipping cost too.

One of many reasons why I don't sell much anymore.

This line may be the best summary of the Fosstodon CoC problem:
"It is very “sudo apt install morality,” which again: techbro sorta behavior"

Great post on the whole debacle:

The interesting thing about what's happening right now though is that some of these admins showed us who they were ages ago.

Then a lot of us didn't want to see it or didn't want to believe. Offering them the benefit of the doubt and all that.

And people who did point this out, either got ignored, harassed, and /or only seen by some.

I know I was one of these people who couldn't understand or see it then. But I tell you now, you were right.
