post.news bullshit
Honestly, this is as large an inditement of the *vibe* at post.news as I could imagine: a white cis dude getting all self-important and pissy because of a moderation decision, then deciding to mansplain all of the fediverse while getting every relevant detail wrong.
If that's what the culture at post.news is like, I'm glad to have nothing to do with it.

Police discourse, rant
What perhaps pisses me off most in discussions about "should we have police", particularly with liberals, is the incredibly patronizing "well, they are necessary to keep society safe".
Like, do you genuinely think that we have somehow completely failed to consider this extremely obvious argument that has been thrown at us literally since we were children, and that gets reinforced on a daily basis in pretty much every form of commercial media that there is?
How is it in any way respectful towards your discussion partner to make that assumption? That they must have not only spent zero time thinking about the topic, but are not even aware of the ubiquitous argument that "everybody knows", and it falls upon you to educate them?
If this is how you start that discussion, then I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're not actually trying to have a real discussion - you're just looking for ways to convince *yourself* that all is fine, and harming the people you're talking to in the process.
@thomas FWIW, they are a registered bank in Luxembourg for all EU customers, so you can hassle them to unfreeze your account because they can't just keep your money under banking laws here unless they have a good reason
@skye This is definitely me right now
Looks like bloodball is over for NL. Good. Finally.

On a metaphysical level I never understood why so many people who align toward their idea of "chaos" are self-centered narcissistic dickheads.
That's the norm. That's boring. That's doing what everyone else with a shred of power in this world does. Focusing on your own power and how to grow and exert it over others is milquetoast privileged bullshit.
True chaos is what results when you use the power you know you already have to empower others. You want chaos, try predicting what an artist will do when you give them the safety, means and power to create.

Very few neonyms annoy me as much as 'maker'. You are into crafts, you're just too sexist to use a term usually used by women

@Lazol@yiff.life @Juju @boisdevache@guineapig.party That's possibly the best part of this; even *if* it were true what they are claiming (which it's not, lol), it would essentially be an admission that a bunch of bored queer folks could wreck their company out of nowhere. Like, how exactly do they think this is a good look?
@PhilthePill@octodon.social I feel like at some point they are going to wonder why you seem to eat lasagna every day though :p

more defederation talk omg
I've seen so many bad takes lately about how defederation is "overreaction" or "childish" or whatnot
Usually seems to come from the idea that Fedi is "a platform"
and I'm like
No
No it's not a platform
it's a loose federation of a bunch of small social networks (one per instance), and any "a platform" that you might see is the emergent result of admins doing all the defederation and cleanup work behind the scenes

@AmyZenunim@unstable.systems They saw Musk's bin fire and decided "we can beat his record!"
@Are0h @MerlinJStar@weirder.earth Can't speak for the UK, but unfortunately we have quite a bit of it in the Netherlands as well. Not *as* bad as the US though... yet.

raspberry pi, ACAB
There is no good way to hire a cop who proudly took part in mass surveillance programs so intense and privacy violating that even their government admitted it was in violation of human rights after international human rights orgs intervened post Snowden.
Especially being proud of the fact that he used their devices to do it.
Even if RPi had handled everything perfectly after their announcement, this should still be disgusting and unacceptable.
@determinerik (Dat wil dus ook zeggen dat het moet draaien om "waar wil je zelf hulp mee" en niet om "we gaan je leren hoe je in de maatschappij past". Dat is conversietherapie, en een bron van trauma.)
@determinerik Zelfbeschikking. Ze moeten de clienten serieus nemen, op hun woord geloven over hoe zij dingen ervaren, er vanuit gaan dat *clienten* en dus niet hulpverleners in de beste positie zijn om hun situatie te begrijpen, en vooral geen conversietherapie-achtige praktijken toe proberen te passen (zoals helaas wel gebruikelijk is binnen de GGZ).
