My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

This isn't a community. This is a big tent.
Well, if that's your opinion of this place, then don't blame us for thinking you're a clown - because you're already treating it like a circus.
Observation: Twitter is losing notifications for me, but the supposedly unreliable fedi isn't

@xenophora @joepie91 @thufie big "when all you have known is privilege equality feels like oppression" energy in that thread. watching people fluster because they've never seen communities meaningfully and effectively exercise agency around what gets pushed at them is really something.

@thufie @xenophora But isn't the internet just a US thing???? You mean there are other people on there??

@xenophora @thufie "Why would you CW election day stuff when everybody is talking about it???"
Well gee I wonder if *that might be the exact reason*

@xenophora @thufie Thing is, *almost everybody else* in that thread is just as bad or worse... :|

@thufie It gets worse, but maybe you've seen this one already: https://mstdn.social/@Aravosis/109311359358015002

@mart0 @dantescanline @anarchistbicycleclub i apologize for butting in, but
mental health adjacent
@MerlinJStar@mastodon.lol I... think that applies to me? It's hard to say because ADHD can totally wreck my focus and therefore any ability to read, especially complex texts... but when my brain is in the right 'state', I can tear through even highly specialized (eg. legal) texts with no problem at all.
And written material is definitely almost always easier for me to take in than spoken information, though that's probably related to auditory issues and being unable to control the "ingest speed" there.
I don't know, it's all a bit of a mess honestly.

sorry more mastodon discussion, mastodev adjacent
you know, i remember a lot of weird toys and tools that people built on top of twitter's API back in the day. i bet there could be a lot here that *are* opt-in and *not* suited for keyword harassment

Hi all. Can any other #blind people recommend an #accessible #mastodon app for #iOS? I'm trying to find a good one that works well with VoiceOver.
Meta, "politics" question
@creatrixtiara The three most common (implicit) interpretations I've observed, probably in order of common-ness:
A) Electoral politics
B) A + activism-related reporting/research
C) B + "philosophical" deliberations and musings about political stuff and power dynamics, including systemic oppression
I've not really seen anyone consider it to include personal experiences, but I'm also on a very tightly-moderated instance, so that may well not be representative.
I personally tend to go with option C for my CWs, and it doesn't seem to make people any less likely to read or interact with it. But that's a sample size of 1, of course.

Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/
re: meta, whiny twitter expats, somewhat gross hyperbole
@kescher It's an uh, shall we say, "representative" thread
