@natureworks Maybe @koen could help? They mostly do stuff in NL I believe, but they have experience with this sort of thing

@njion I've spent a lot of time on figuring this out (for, I assume, similar reasons), and I've found a way that works fairly reliably for me at least: relaxing all my muscles (is a thing that can be practiced) and then trying to make my brain deliberately drift away into nonsensical thoughts (by rejecting logical thought and following weird tangents at rapid pace), and after a pretty short time my body just goes "oh huh I guess we're in sleep phase now, better put the rest to sleep" and I'm asleep!

Can go into more detail about how to practice this, if wanted - but the short version of it is that I'm emulating the first phase of sleep to kick off the rest of the process

@jdp23 Thanks! All of those make sense, and that clarifies a lot.

I also wasn't aware that Twitter did any word filtering at all. I guess I'd assumed it didn't due to the large amount of slurs I still regularly encountered there. But perhaps their list just wasn't very complete.

@alecm There's a pretty significant difference between using a cookie and acquiring it, that's missing here: acquiring a cookie lets your access persist beyond the pageload, whereas 'making requests with it' only works as long as you can execute code on the page (ie. as long as the page is loaded).

It's the difference between stealing someone's keys, vs. tailgating them. Quite a different level of impact.

@th (I feel like "fascists are chronically unable to shut their mouths" is generally an underutilized strategy for this sort of thing, to be honest)

@th Personally: "Dude. What the fuck is wrong with you?", and then in response to the likely "what do you mean?", start challenging them on why on earth they want to have anything to do with that, and drive the conversation with clear disapproval until it eventually ends up at pointing out that they're associating with fascists.

Basically: make the social disapproval abundantly clear, and give them *just* enough room to blurt out enough details that they can't retroactively claim they had no idea (which usually happens if you jump straight to the 'fascists' claim).

Applies more generally, too; be just hostile enough that someone feels challenged, but not so much that bystanders will dismiss you as the aggressor. The fascist will out themselves and their beliefs to onlookers soon enough, if you just keep them talking for long enough.

@mynameistillian (How this translates into organizing strategy is unfortunately something I do not yet have an answer to)

@mynameistillian I'm reminded of some comments I've run across many times over the years, how the people who always show up to help, are rarely the people speaking loudly about it.

They are not entirely distinct groups either, but the core message here is that most solidarity is not found in discourse, nor those engaging in it.

@mynameistillian @Rusty@cubhub.social And once again, a white person with "BLM" in profile arguing that "people should be free to spend their money how they want, and not be made to feel guilty / be criticized for it".

It's not really surprising anymore by this point, but. Yeah.
