"Burnout, I’ve come to believe, isn’t just about time or tasks. It’s about purpose, alignment, and whether you believe the system you work in deserves your sacrifice."

on furnal equinox and their fascist bs
and like let’s be fucking real lol - this was always going to happen because we kept pretending the fandom wasn’t political. in many spaces i have been in there's an air of politics being this unspoken taboo that nobody talks about. as a result we have chosen to willingly commodify and gentrify ourselves.

fascists and bigots, unlike many assert, *thrive* here. yes, they fucking do, and many of them do not wear the "furry raiders" type beat pawprint badges. people in this fucking community are so afraid of conflict and politics that they let everyone walk over them. the white, cis, male, abled majority refuses to take a stand, dismissing every attempt to call this out as "drama" or "discourse." it’s cowardice dressed up as neutrality, and it’s killing us.
@sharan I was originally motivated to post this by the thing about Fandom and their treatment of volunteers, but the same thing applies to platforms like Reddit, YouTube, and also a lot of smaller, more niche platforms that I've seen over the years but that don't come to mind immediately.
@jonty@chaos.social *twitches eye uncontrollably*
Wat is dat toch, dat als je kritiek uit over het bestaan van politie/defensie e.d., dat mensen er gelijk van uitgaan dat je gewoon "naief" bent en "niet snapt waarom het bestaat"? Echt vermoeiend, zo kun je nooit eens een fatsoenlijk gesprek erover voeren.

@h3artbl33d Ah, well, taking a cutting is a good start, but you have to plant it in some soil and nurture it for a while to have it grow into a proper WiFi-bearing plant

@h3artbl33d Also, they don't want you to know this, but the internet is free, you can just take it home, etc. etc.
@h3artbl33d In fairness, they are also orange things sticking out of the ground, so close enough

polyamory v. mononormativity
framing it as "ethical non-monogamy" means it is still framed as abnormal
The idea that some tech company is being benevolent by "giving you a platform for your community" while pocketing the ad money themselves to supposedly "keep the servers running"...
... really isn't any meaningfully different from the myth that employers are benevolent by "giving you a job" and you should be glad to have it, when in reality it's *your* labour that sustains them.
The 'platform economy', especially where it involves people voluntarily creating media and content on those platforms, is just the same old worker exploitation with a new coat of paint.
If it were truly about 'supporting communities', then the platform wouldn't be run by a for-profit company.
