Language around "cancel culture"
I feel like we need to find existing words or make new ones to distinguish the application of cancel culture to/the deplatforming of people with significant power from the ostracizing of individuals with little clout to begin with.
Quitting Overwatch because of bad international behavior by Blizzard is very different from kicking a marginalized roommate onto the street because of a limited difference in politics.
Treating those two acts as equivalent can cause so much confusion. So much of it comes down to the difference in power.
(And, as @zatnosk rightly points out, the GDPR (in Article 6 § 1(f)) allows you to delete personally-identifying information if it's in your legitimate interest to do so!)
No, #mastoadmin crew, suspending an account does not violate the GDPR, no matter what bad-faith actors might tell you. The GDPR relates specifically to data that can uniquely identify a natural person in the physical world. The only data Mastodon collects that falls under that purview is email address and a combination of latest IP address and latest connection time - and suspending an account doesn't remove that information from the database, although you can do it manually.
So I decided to repurpose an old Soundcloud account to upload everything I've sorta finished since 2015 so go here to listen to the grand total of 12 tunes I've finished since then plus two ancient ones you probably don't want to hear https://soundcloud.com/forgebold

Obligatory introduction post
I'm like, Rammy! I'm a fox, I love a deer, I play a heck tonne of MTG lately, and also some FPSes, and I wanna get stuff back on track with learning programming, keeping off the bad socials, fitting more time in for gaming and such! Stream again!! I hope this can be the start of surrounding myself with less draining stuff <3
I hope you all have a good day!

i'm making myself a little toolkit on top of pygame to make simple games relatively quickly. today's unnecessary and possibly overcomplicated feature: hand-rolled VWF text using bitmap fonts
typesetting pixel fonts isn't my forte but the code itself works exactly the way i envisioned
