Notice how these folks employ a very simple strategy:

Flood the conversation with bullshit faster than that bullshit can be refuted. It's not complicated, every bigot does it, including those that *also* hate these folks. This user of course outright refused to wait for me to find the link I was looking for, and she also replied again without acknowledging what I had posted.

disqordia.space -- one of the worst offenders in general. great evidence that white queer folks are in fact, still white, and still capable of being massive racists. They've fomented all this and spun it as "folks ignoring trans women/transfems talking about transmisogyny" in a classic case of DARVO. Admins participate in this too. Let me be clear: they are targets of transmisia/queermisia, but they've also made a habit of harassing and screwing over users of color, including queer POC folks.

That they are able to weaponize their oppression in this way and lump in folks (rightfully) criticizing them for this with bigots who hate them for being trans is of course a result of their privilege as (mostly) white folks.

You see it with cisgender white women too, with them weaponizing a legitimate and warranted mistrust of men against black folks, especially black men, both historically and to this day.

It's really frustrating to see queer folks choose whiteness over solidarity. Especially since, inevitably, the bigots they've aligned themselves with will turn on them.

So it turns out those folks who said they were going to spam fediblock are in fact spamming fediblock. I recommend asking your admins to defederate from:

worm.pink -- they seem to be one of the worst offenders with multiple users spamming

cybercriminal.eu -- admin spamming, unlikely to do anything about folks on her instance doing so as well

asbestos.cafe -- users spamming, also federates with and lists other instances who are spamming as "sister instances"

rule 1: most of the time you ever have a fight or an argument about a cis(het) person engaging in bigotry against queer people, average outsider is more likely to side against you, especially if you are a trans/queer person yourself, even if the people involved claim to be allies. bonus points if you are not white or if you are disabled.

there has been only 2 cases for me out of 14 where it happened and people actually stood with me. this is why I don't trust many "allies" at all anymore

A mood.

with the announcement of vulpine club shutting down, i'm looking for a server that meets the following criteria:
🔸​ has a decent amount of custom emoij, especially blobcats and foxes.
🔸 doesn't have an artificially low character limit on posts (1k+ is ideal).
🔸 doesn't have an artificially low character limit on your profile, or limit you to only a few metadata fields.
🔸 doesn't have an artificially low limit on pinned posts.
🔸 doesn't use core mastodon, which has numerous accessibility issues.
🔸 is known for being queer-friendly, and ideally furry-friendly.

these are the issues of why i left octodon, because they kept restricting everything for no reason.

pssst
hey you
yes you fedi critters.

can yall pls blast me with furry related instances reccomendations that have good moderation and enough people so that posting doesn't feel like yelling into an empty room thank you

oh and also, I really would like for them to have glitchsoc and not have an obnoxious limit on characters and profile stuff but that's not compulsory

boost the fuck out of this post
thank u

Diabetic folks who use older models of FreeStyle Libre CGM and a reader: there's a recall on the readers. 4.2 million of them, for the original Libre, the 14 Day, and the Libre 2. The readers are apparently overheating and sometimes exploding.

This #PuddleOfTheDay is an early evening image. I've chosen to show it in black and white in other places as it represents #Fensterfreitag better that way imo, but I post it here in the unfiltered original

Negotiating COVID risk mitigation plans before meeting with friends is suspiciously like negotiating a kink scene. I will not be taking questions.

“#ChatGPT can pass exams that a majority of students can't"

i think this says more about how our education relies on non-introspective reproduction of information than it says about the future of computing

like, it just shows that our education systems are incompatible with actual humans when a computer is better at it?
