Just realized that I missed my "cops stole my shit" anniversary, which is now over 10 years ago

meta and also politics, sort of directed at reader 

There are some very uncomfortable parallels between "citizens scapegoat other powerless citizens because the actual politicians in power refuse to address problems head-on", and "Mastodon users scapegoat other powerless Mastodon users because the actual developer in power refuses to address problems head-on"

I hope that you can fill in the gaps yourself on what this means for the social dynamics on fedi

my advice on coming out is simple: don't feel like you owe anyone anything at all

free software advocates when you ask them to take an intersectional view on the ethics of using certain software, going beyond the question of 'is this thing foss or not': ⁉️ 😕 😠 🤬

@mikallemachtig Helaas is "activist shareholder" in bijv. de VS een heel gebruikelijke term, en doorgaans heeft het heel weinig met activisme te maken (maar met dingen als "improving the performance of the company").

Bijzonder ergerlijk, en ik vermoed het zoveelste geval waar kapitalisten een sociale term kapen voor eigen doeleinden.

the USian assumption that every text is exclusively in one language versus de realiteit dat sommige gebruikers meerdere talen spreken

@ben All of which have not just a different construction cost but also a different ratio of cost to stats, and slightly different cover mechanics
