PSA for trans folks. 

Anyway, I don't mean to rant. This feels like a situation in which it needed to be said. I honestly think the community just needs to be aware.

Speaking of: please respect their identity. I know that sounds silly, but there seems to be(?) a tendency to assume they're only doing it because they're scared or something. That's not your call, and if you don't consider it "real", you're not helping. I get how this can happen, just be mindful.

I KNOW we can be better.

PSA for trans folks. 

I think a major part of this problem is that it's rare enough to encourage the bystander effect. If someone wants to revert, they're likely going to feel like a "traitor" and they're definitely gonna be treated like one if they're vocal. I beg you to go the extra mile and ASK if they're okay. Like, how would they know you're safe to talk to?

PSA for trans folks. 

SUPPORT PEOPLE WHO DETRANSITION.

As a member of a community that would prefer this anomaly does not exist, YOU HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO CARE.

Just because it makes TERFs feel validated doesn't erase their humanity. Yes it's extremely rare, but it happens.

Detransitioning sucks. You lose the trans community, and there's not a lot of places to turn. Actually consider the sheer self doubt.

Seriously.If you ever meet someone in this situation: HELP. We need to be better.

If it wasn’t clear, I’m here to have genuine interactions with people. Genuine interactions include jokes and fun, but if ur gonna shitpost at me all day and not even try to establish a connection or hear me out in any way, then I really do not want to talk to you. I’m glad you have your own reason for being here, but that’s not mine.

You can call me “dry” or “no fun” (which is untrue) and insult me for not playing into your little routine or daily parroting of whatever popular shitpost is going around for the day, but I have my own standards and my own reasons for being here and how I interact with others.

Instances and moderation 

Also blocks don't actually work on here, they just mean you can't see what the people you blocked are doing, which as far as safety concerns go is extremely far from ideal

This is why defederation is so important, it's the only way to actually stop bad actors from coming into our areas of the fediverse

uspol, "free speech" 

Holding tight to an un-nuanced principle is an abdication of moral responsibility rather than an embrace of it, or why I lack sympathy for all the handwringing over the recent, visible de-platforming of hate groups.

Is anyone on the Fedi in need of a small art tablet? This is a Huion, I'm not sure of the model exactly. Its a couple years old but only used for a few months before it went into storage. The scratches are superficial and you can't feel them when you draw, the flash just makes it look terrible. Stylus requires one AAA battery. Pen pressure is okay, maybe medium sensitivity so I wouldn't recommend this if you want full tilt range if that sensitivity matters to you. This is a small tablet, not much bigger than my hand so about 7 or 8 inches at the longest point.

Not asking for any money. If you can chip in for shipping, great, if not, I can cover it. Continental USA only, sorry about that. :boost_ok:

The flak that Fedilab rightfully got wasn't simply because the developer didn't block Gab.

It was because after he publicly blocked Gab and basked in the praise for doing so, it turned out he was only covering his own arse and then CHOSE TO REMOVE THE BLOCK when he figured he was safe from the wrath of the app stores.

If that isn't the sign of a broken moral compass to you, I don't know what to tell you. :blobcoffeeunamused2:

All things considered, getting into petty ego slapfights, as an instance admin, over your own users being racists and harassers, while the rest of the world is celebrating the deplatforming of one of the most dangerous fascists in recent memory, and of a social media space built for his followers, is just about the whitest shit I've heard this year.

And we've only just started this year.

Except the wolf was there every time just sitting there and the townspeople refused to acknowledge it when he warned them about the wolf that was RIGHT THERE and he got gobbled up at the end of the story and then the townspeople wondered how the wolf problem got so bad

I still have no idea what a smolbean is, but from how I hear about it being talked about, is it bad enough to be related to this?

Did you know that smolbeans is responsible for 20 million deaths every year due to starvation and treatable diseases? We have the technology and the means to feed and supply medicines to people around the world twice over, but because of smolbeans, most people suffer from lack of medical care and can't afford to feed themselves and their family.

Please, do your part and save the world by posting your red lobster ass for everyone to see. Yes, including minors who rely on CWs to filter out NSFW content.
