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

@schratze this is just rehashing your hate against anime porn bots

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

Seeing a lot of takes that assume that big instances on Fedi should exist and idk that seems like a mistake

re: meds, calls 

weird.. so this time they did have my meds ready (I got an email on the 18th and 21st), but I was waiting to get an SMS that they put it in the 24/7 pickup machine like I usually get.. but turns out that went wrong but I can just come pick them up (and could've on the 21st..). what a mess
