birdsite auto-moderation failure thoughts
the emphatic summary statement of problems being discussed is often missing from threaded conversations because it's controversial to the people who hate minorities and they report it a lot -- possibly even programmatically having it reported by bots on some people's accounts at this point
venting about depression & suicide
Fuck depression.
Fuck depression for ruining the lives of wonderful people in times of stress.
Fuck depression for leaving scars both mental and physical on so many.
Fuck depression for taking the lives of so many good people before their time.
But most of all? Fuck society for viewing depression as laziness.
For seeing suicide as intentionally selfish.
For voicing thousands of reasons to hate the depressed and berating those who love and care for them.

Bayspreading: the web coding equivalent of 'manspreading', where your web page loads stuff from a million separate Amazon and Google servers located in the San Francisco Bay Area because you figure 'the Silicon Valley Cloud is everyone's personal computer these days, isn't it?'
and you don't realise 'everyone' in the world doesn't host data in the legal jurisdiction of the USA or even wants their data packets going beyond their local USB cable.
