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.

@polyfloyd @gmc @whreq Ah, hm, dat is wel een goede. Daar weet ik zo snel ook even geen oplossing voor.
Dog with anxiety, food issues
@clacksee@wandering.shop Yeah, that definitely sounds like a long road. Glad that you've found a net-positive solution, though!
@xor I suspect that most people here are actually pretty interested in disaster tourism around cryptoshit, as long as it's behind a CW :)

There's a woman on the train this morning with her sunglasses sat up on top of her head and my first thought when I looked over that direction was "oh those are nice cat ears".
That's what five years on the fedi does to you, folks. Just be ready for it, ok?

what is the professionally appropriate way to say "sorry, code machine 🅱️roke" to your manager as an explanation for why your work isn't getting done

Dog with anxiety, food issues
@clacksee@wandering.shop I've had similar issues with my cat, it sucks :/
In my case, the vet eventually suggested just feeding her "recovery food" permanently, which I didn't even know was a (safe) option, but it has largely solved the problem in her case! The downside is the cost, of course. But even at her worst, she'll still immediately chomp down on it.
Bleak, internet, meta
@rune Of course, this only applies to unethical practices. Ethical-but-illegal actions are of course also illegal on the internet.
@nolan It's worth noting that these really seem to be performance issues contained to specific (overloaded) instances; this instance doesn't have open signups, and I've pretty much not seen any performance degradation on this end, which suggests that it's not a "cascade" across the network at least.

Please do not ask marginalised people to do the work of teaching you how to be a better ally, especially if that's not explicitly their job or business. Some of us may choose to do it, but it's on our own terms, not something to be demanded of us just by virtue of existing.
There are more than enough resources out there for you to learn on your own. Plenty you can observe. You don't need us hand-holding you through your every misstep. We've got our own things to do!
"Please teach us because the only way we can learn is if you tell us where we got it wrong" is not reasonable.

the non-binary condition is having to look up which side of the non-binary flag is up literally every time
meta, frustrated
@StroomAfwaarts Basically, privileged klootzakken die bijv. "eventjes" alle posts op heel de fediverse indexeren en doorzoekbaar maken, zonder ook maar een moment stil te staan bij de vraag "waarom willen mensen dat niet" of wat voor gevaar het oplevert voor marginalized mensen
meta
@larand What I'm most concerned about are macro-level changes, honestly. There's been a ton of new folks pushing the idea that "defederating is bad", and likewise trying to wear down the moderation policies on existing instances. Both are threats to federation as a defense mechanism :/

"Defederate instances that platform fascists" very much includes cops.
meta
@larand I've certainly been trying, but I'm rapidly running out of energy and patience, and I don't think I'm the only one either...
Unfortunately many of the newcomers (including those who should know better) don't seem willing to do the work of "lurking quietly for a while to get a sense of how things work before claiming that things should change" that I did when I joined here (as did many others, of course).
Like, I'm happy for new folks to find a place here, but not if it threatens the safety of existing communities :/
meta, frustrated
It would be nice if some of the privileged tech folks coming to fedi would realize that their behaviour is on the "threat" side of "the fediverse is designed to protect vulnerable folks against threats"

Research on Fedi
Are you on an academic/scholarly/sciencey Fedi server?
Does your server have a policy regarding researching its users?
This is Scholar's, for example:
https://scholar.social/terms#research
We should be having this conversation about user consent, expectations and instance policies *now* before you end up having to explain why your cool cool paper about Fedi is getting retracted

Anyway
This sounds like snark but it's not
If you're on mastodon dot social or dot online
Leave that instance and get on a better one
They are de facto unmoderated instances due to their sheer size and many many instances have them limited
So for example, if someone from m dot s replies to this, I won't see it
Ever!

attention new peeps
welcome to mastodon, which is part of the wider fediverse
this place was built by marginalized communities coming together and deciding they were done with the bullshit on twitter
and trying to forge a more comfy space free from corporate influence
queers, furries, neurodivergent peeps, etc. built this place
we generally don't like cops, corps, landlords, and the like
i hope if it isn't immediately clear why, it becomes more so over time
and we hope you enjoy yourself!
