it's about 'perspective' in the context of sustainability, might've scouted a location where I can line up an old windmill with a modern wind turbine

re: if this is subposting me 

@ckie not specifically subposting you, more people have a habit of doing this.

that's still exactly the kind of knee-jerk i ment though, it's a nonsensical response too because like?? this is a microcontroller-targeted independent javascript runtime. how does chromium even come into the equation here.

@goat@hellsite.site the ego and to each it's own

if your first response is some language snark, keep it to yourself

politics, "civility" 

As a bit of context for those who are unfamiliar: "civility" is a tool of oppression. It doesn't consider whether any harm is done at all, only whether the (pretty much arbitrary) requirements of decorum and appearances are met.

In other words: it explicitly permits any harmful behaviour as long as it appears superficially polite and 'professional' enough. As long as it's plausibly deniable enough.

And it punishes those who speak out loudly or emotionally about being harmed, because that doesn't meet the standards of decorum.

It's a favourite staple of conservatives, as well as naive "reach across the aisle" centrists.

And when someone's view on moderation is all about "civility", also a pretty damn reliable signal that they *cannot* be trusted to protect vulnerable and marginalized folks.

@researchfairy i'm very happy with our m.s and m.o blocks, but stuff like the mastodon 4.x fiasco still shows what a disproportionate influence they have over the rest of the fedi :(

"Trust us! In our case, we don't need any external accountability," they said

"When we effectively control the network or when blocking us isn't really an option, we'll still be the good guys," they said
