When a leftist has a privilege, they should see it as an obligation to wield it for the benefit of those who don't have it.
@futurebird The same thing has happened to me so many times.
I more broadly feel that "dealing with criticism" is a lost skill of sorts, to be honest, and one that people should be actively practicing and cultivating regardless of their political views... but I've tried to argue for this (as well as the counterpart of giving constructive criticism) and both concepts just seem to be completely unfamiliar to so many people 😒

I think liberals sometimes ignore leftists because everyone has had someone criticize them for being insensitive- or problematic and that’s always an unpleasant experience especially if they have a point. “you really shouldn’t use the word ‘idiot’ it has a long ableist history” this is true… and I’m working on it. But my initial reaction to being corrected is never graceful. No way! I want to find a reason why I did nothing wrong— or if I was wrong? It wasn’t serious. 1/
lewd-adjacent, complaining
@marlies (It was kind of an early attempt at an online equivalent of gay cruising spots, unfortunately it has also inherited all of the sketchy stuff that comes with that, though at least there's some moderation nowadays)
lewd-adjacent, complaining
@marlies Ah yeah no, this one long predates even the concept of smartphone apps, it's *old* and as far as I can tell a banner ad is all they have in terms of revenue
lewd-adjacent, complaining
@marlies This is a free one (and primarily for hookups rather than long-term dating) so I'm not sure what they're hoping to gain from that, in their business model it makes more sense to make the experience nice so that people keep coming back IMO

And also, if you cannot even take the time to read and answer a simple question, what makes you think I'm going to meet up with you? Like, come on
lewd picture, (almost) nude teasing
If you saw me like this and you could do anything, what would you do?
@fluffy Oh no, what happened this time?
lewd-adjacent, complaining
Okay what the hell happened to hookup chats, why do I need to practically A/B-test my profile text to get anyone to read more than three words?
nl politiek
Aha, dus dit is een van de bedrijfjes die zich bezighouden met "oud-politici als commercieel lobbyist in de markt zetten": https://loopbaannapolitiek.nl/
Opgericht door ene Willem Ginjaar, die betrokken is (was?) bij een van de VVD afgesplitste partij (uiteraard...) in Zeeland. Geven ook graag aspergediners cadeau aan politici, blijkbaar.
@daudix@vmst.io I believe the process manager (about:performance) now also does this when you hit the 'X' on a tab group

matrix moderation
I feel like moderation for Matrix would be in a much better place if there were a bot framework specifically for moderation tasks, with a very simple API and one-call methods for all common moderation actions, so that you can actually quickly respond to developing attack strategies

Some years ago, I got the impression that a certain team in a very well known European university was multiplying papers unnecessarily.
Basically, the same idea was spread across several papers, and some obfuscation was used to make the ideas seem more complex than they were.
A senior colleague got this answer from one of the students: "that's what our advisor asks us to do".
mentions racist rhetoric, re: US pol: Is there any kernel for this lie?
@futurebird Right. So then perhaps the underlying, implicit claim is "immigrants are making our schools worse by increasing class sizes" or something like that? Since that would be more politically palatable, if I understand you correctly.

mentions racist rhetoric, re: US pol: Is there any kernel for this lie?
@futurebird Not sure whether this rhetoric also exists in the US, but it reminds me of the common racist rhetoric in the Netherlands of "immigrants taking all the houses, leaving none for Dutch people". Which is derived from a (deliberate) misinterpretation of refugee housing policies in the context of social housing waitlists. Something like that perhaps?
