@marnanel @checkervest ​? this is great!!

@hi_cial @thufie this is brilliant

@joepie91 'create' feels mysterious and generic like "you don't need to know what's in there" and 'add' makes me expect more array/stack dynamics, but there's really a lot of context missing that could sway this by a lot.

@sergia@dair-community.social i think i ended up replying to this in my other replies to your thread :p

i really like this though!! thank you for writing it, really cool style. (:

@sergia@dair-community.social i agree, but they're probably not going to.

when you're in the techosphere there's this rationalist mindset that EA⁰ was probably born from, treating the mind as simply a tool for justified objective thinking detached and "ascending" from any personal feelings for their work, something probably necessary in order to stay motivated to work, being sufficiently unaware of their self to be able to enjoy hype. i think a subset of stockholm syndrome is probably that. <more to think here>

@sergia@dair-community.social continuing my little study of /r/place

i've also observed that the big teams always tend to be ran like a military unit, and queerness usually opposes authority, which makes it all the more difficult.

they already have a moral framework and decades of cultural validation built into them from the start. think about how radiatingly excited a black or disabled kid gets when they see someone like them on TV. that's an amazing tiny dose of representation they're being drip fed.

@sergia@dair-community.social @andrei_chiffa@mastodon.social

the right is unified by *any* hate and conservatism; the preserving of the current state, or sometimes the realization of the state the current majority societal norms tend to require.

look at the past /r/place 's that have ran — everyone is building their own thing and majorities win because of their numbers (the network effect) and a quick establishment of their reality.

we are minorities. many different minorities, inherently ununified by our distinctions. with similar motivations, and perhaps agreeable goals, but at least currently, uncoordinated and alone in clusters, though the internet helps sometimes and it really varies.

@sergia@dair-community.social

> It's like we were taught "you have to show your single person skill and justify your existence if you want to be a part of our brain"

the typical endangered queer feels they have to prove their place in this capitalistic world by mere worth; "if they won't like me as a person, they'll at least see i'm worth keeping around as a tool". this can be deeply ingrained.

@cadey have you tried font-variant-emoji: emoji;
