this puts me in a really confusing place, and if the source was literally ANYWHERE else, i wouldn't feel so much doubt

my problem is that the recent events look just like all of their other harassment campaigns, but in this case i don't know who the victims *actually* are...and getting it wrong either way would make me feel extremely bad

this whole situation with kiwifarms is deeply confusing to me

i think that we need to believe victims, because it's extraordinarily hard to come forward with nasty things when you are abused...this is especially true for things like CSA

but the source of all of these nasty accusations is coming from a place that is known for being a cesspool that tries it's hardest to ruin the lives of the people they don't like by circlejerking a mixture of out of context bits with outright lies

last year i set up gitlab on my server for some personal projects, but also because it had a private issue tracker that i could use for sooper-seekret actual real life issues i wanted so work on

i forgot about it until now and wooow. Almost none of these things are issues anymore, and very few of them are secret either

things are actually extraordinarily good for me... i just gotta work on keeping this momentum now..!

@chao@chitter.xyz so *that's* what you meant when you called them "clean clothes"

remember! "vote with your wallet" just means "ignore the marginalized"

@typhlosion i think it also has to do with mindset

i mean, if someone feels strongly enough about something to label themselves with it, they will also often feel personally attacked when someone attacks that thing

@typhlosion @pnathan oof, that would do it

it's hard when you like something that others find really unpleasant

so, i just learned that a melody i've had stuck in my head on and off for about two decades...was by rick astley

@chao@chitter.xyz well that's fair..! honestly, tapping qwerty keys on mobile is kind of a pain. that's actually why i use swype for most of my typing

@chao@chitter.xyz yeah! it's actually the default mode for google's japanese keyboard

admittedly, i actually just use qwerty--even my japanese keyboard, because that's what i was used to on my computer

@codl huh! i can't say i've even seen a layout like that, much less a squashed version of it

i can't help but wonder the learning curve for it though

@chao@chitter.xyz @codl ohhh, it looks like english pinyin input

it was really weird with japanese
