God I hate neoliberals. Yeah sure its the fascists who are running amok but how did we get here? Who enabled them? Oh right, it's the neoliberals, dogmatic conservatives who pretend they're not conservative but "rational" and "moderate" and do nothing but slowly poison the well by constantly insisting that the rational, moderate thing to do is compromise with and cede ground to fascists
This message brought to you by me seeing an article about how those most opposed to a full pay 4 day work week in Germany are the supporters of the neoliberal party
Fucking neoliberals are why we can't have nice things and why we have rising fascism instead

Does anyone in the US have experience or anecdotes regarding removal of those "Neighborhood Watch" signs?
I have one in my front yard, and they're all over on other streets (not all), but are otherwise invisible in the day-to-day because of their omnipresence.
I was just reminded of it the other day, and it seems to give off police-state/sundown vibes to me, and I don't want to participate in that or support it. AFAICT, they're not owned by any government agency?
For fellow instance admins
If you block that instance that's doing bad stuff EARLY:
1. You can actually *prevent* abuse rather than just feel bad that it's a thing that happens and wonder why nothing could be done about it
2. You can influence the other instance's policies if they see quick and decisive backlash
3. You can prevent an instance from becoming "too big to block" in the minds of others
But you have to actually block them at the FIRST sign of trouble, not after the damage is done
@oliphant 's blocklists just had a pretty high endorsement - it's being bitched about by qoto/freeman

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
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.
