pol-adjacent, praxis, terminology
Someone over on birdhellsite mentioned that they mentally replace “civility” with “obedience” to better gauge intent. Seems both accurate and useful.

@chr I do not understand why they want to mingle these data streams, when “I am a dragon on the internet” and “I prefer siloing off work from my personal time” are not mutually exclusive profiles. They even give better results when catered to separately.
@chr The creepiest thing about tracking are the identifiers that are less obvious. Like having Google+ suggest my personal profile as “someone you may know” to my family, because of some combination of scraping, geolocation, and device login.
Which is more or less why I’ve fled those platforms.

@mawr I also self-censor a lot more now in public spaces since then, though I can’t entirely disentangle that with my coping strategy from the fallings out. Not sure if I’d act the same way all other things held equal.

@mawr More. Though I’m not necessarily a good data point, given 2015 was when I fell out of my communities because of fraught issues that were, primarily, due to miscommunication.
Adjusting for that though, dropping social media for unrelated reasons counts, as does shying away from former friends that started using Pepe memes in group chats.
