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.

A user called Aldanimarki designed these, which say "I love chokky milk" in Arabic, kind of as a way to make a point about how westerners see their language as sinister.

The provider with the best coverage in Germany is called “Kein Netz”, apparently
re: subtoot
Of course it ended up just being the usual rant about how control over moderation should rest with the users while conveniently not mentioning abuse considerations, not any actually interesting take about EEE or anything

Just ran across an (older) comment that claims something to the effect of "defederation should be removed from the protocol because it makes it too easy to centralize the network, just look at what happened to XMPP", and I think I need a new brain now
Page reload seems to have fixed it 🙃

ARGH
What's a good website for hosting, and writing, stories? I like Word but also want people to be able to like, leave editing suggestions and critique, ideally ON the text of the page they're reading. Google Docs COULD work but doesn't have a side-by-side view which is... I mean *why.*
Oh hey, the bug is back where a different post gets boosted from the one I clicked 'boost' on
(This extra applies to Dutch folks; no, we do not have a consensus culture, we have a compromise culture, and that's why we're dealing with a fascism problem now)
Compromise: finding a middle ground between existing solutions, nobody gets exactly what they want
Consensus: identifying the root cause of the disagreement, and determining a (potentially novel) solution that meets everyone's needs fully
Know the difference :)

Web Platform Baseline, recently re-announced by Google Chrome, does not consider browser support for #accessibility features built into the web platform.
Accessibility is a fundamental requirement for devs (legal compliance, contracts). Yet Web Platform Baseline does not actually cover baseline support.

Moderation litmus test: in a moderation dispute, do you give the benefit of the doubt to the offender, or to the person who has been harmed?

This might be one of the most horrible hacks I've heard about in a while.

Come to think of it, why *doesn't* the Contributor Covenant say anything about consent or respecting boundaries?

Absolutely fucking sick of techbros and their non-existent understanding of consent and constant overconfidence

A reason to block "reply guys" (of whatever gender) who follow you vs. just muting them or toughing it out because you don't feel like you deserve better: Because they may do the same thing to the people you boost.
This is something folks like me with a (too) high follower count should especially be aware of, but it could happen with anyone. So if not blocking them for your own mental health, consider that you don't want people you boost to experience this.
