@glyph @eevee Sounds like we need the opposite to followers-only privacy: posts that are only visible/etc to everyone except those that follow you.

Japes aside I understand that. It sounds like a "trashed bathrooms" situation where people can only be angry in the places they have power.

@Taylor @eevee yes, a perfect description of the dynamic

@Taylor @eevee and what I’m saying here is I don’t want to deal with a trashed bathroom either and I will always try my best to restrain myself but I *do* want to fucking break something, really bad

@glyph @Taylor i don't know and i feel similarly helpless, but man there are certainly options beyond plastering their literal words directly on the screen of queer folks with no warning

@eevee @Taylor oh yeah to be clear I absolutely think it is wrong and harmful and I try hard to avoid ever doing it. I am constantly linking to Jay smooth’s “don’t link to the line steppers” and to Tay’s “you are entering a shooting gallery from the wrong end”, I just understand why it’s superficially tempting

@Taylor @eevee there are several lefty people I follow whose audiences are much more, uh, let’s say “gamer-y” and I can tell you that THEIR followers do in fact need to be told that fascism is bad and unacceptable, and so their constant dunk-QTing, while I would not describe it as “strategically ideal”, is more justifiable than if I were to do it. And their gallows humor appeals to my own maladaptive coping mechanisms
