In the mastadon model your moderation is handled by making you the vassal of a single sysadmin / administration. More anarchistic would be multiple overlaping content moderators you could use as filters, but even more anarchistic is congealing the filters from the bottom up.

Basically the problem with mastadon/gnusocial is that it functions like a neoreactionary patchwork rather than an anarchist network. Folks migrating between small city states that each offer a monopoly on moderation, rather than building moderation fluidly from the bottom up.

GNU social is characterized by two major dynamics:

1) nazis and anon trolls are marginalized efficiently

2) local instances (smaller walled gardens / statelets) are unsustainable, centralized, and constantly in drama/schism.

(2) is because of insufficiently anarchist topology

re: Medicalization, eugenics, -phobias and -isms, an addendum 

This is an interesting video that shares a lot of how I see medicalization and its effects on the discourse surrounding diability and neurodivergence : youtube.com/watch?v=hWZx4Y7Cpq

two ways being sincere helps other people:

1. they get to see that it is possible to safely be sincere

2. they get to learn by example how to be sincere themselves

Plus, i no longer feel the need to babysit the egos of those who might get offended at the suggestion that having nazi beliefs makes you a nazi.

re: Medicalization, eugenics, trans/enbyphobia and ableism 

So this is why I have no reservations against saying that all transmeds, truscum and TERFs are nazis, because their ideologies lead to eugenics.

Medicalization, eugenics, trans/enbyphobia and ableism 

Reminder that all -medicalism roads lead to eugenics.

Society is designed in a lot of ways without considerations for people who are neurodivergent, who does not have full bodily functions, and/or transgender people, and it ends up being inimical to our day-to-day functions as a result. Yet, we are taught since child birth that we are the problem, stigmatizing us, and teaching us to feel ashamed of being different, because different is bad, and the only way to fix it is to "fix" us so that we change, so that we are genetically screened away before we can even be conceived.

It fails to address cases like myself where I am comfortable being otherkin, plural, autistic and non-binary, and don't want nor need to be "cured" nor does it deal our assertion that any disadvantage we experience from it is a social construct.

Ultimately, ableism, transphobia, enbyphobia, psychophobia, and the medicalization of these conditions as conditions to be cured...they all lead to eugenics.

I fucking hate Credit Card companies and i wish subscription services would just switch away from making it mandatory. Seriously, why the fuck is this a thing?

Crowdfunding, asking for financial aid 

So Credit Card companies are complete garbage and pushed a $3000 debt on my sibling Alice out of nowhere, because fuck you that's why.

Apparently there were things that were left unpaid that they only waited until now to tell them.

In any case, if there's anything you can do to help, send some donations their way here : twitter.com/AliceGrimaude/stat

Eat the rich, burn credit card companies to the ground.

still thinking about software and abuse patterns 

...it's expected, as a design best practice, that designers should seek to control the users' actions. It's expected that designers will pick out the things they want the users to do - connect Facebook accounts, enter phone numbers, buy microtransaction currencies, et cetera and so on - and make it easy to do those things and difficult to avoid doing those things. It's likewise expected that designers will pick out things they want the users not to do - block ads, delete their account, close the standalone app outright instead of just shrinking to taskbar - and make those things difficult to do.

And "easy" and "difficult" here mean operationally but also /emotionally/. Pleading, guilt-tripping, badgering, pestering, misleading ... if the designer wants it, the designer can do anything that isn't blatantly illegal to try to get it out of the user.

That's abuser logic.

That's an abuser thought process and it produces abusive behavior.

gentle reminder: dissociative identity disorders (did/osdd/osdd1b/etc) are projected to have a WORLD WIDE population distribution of anywhere between 1-5% of people (rubin, zorumski; 2005) and gatekeeping communities that can help understanding of the self is literal garbage fire
