You know how vocal I am about the shit that goes on on fedi, how upset white guy bullies get when you stand up to them?

Just think of all the people who *aren't* speaking up

Doing research on wikipedia for a shitpost, and other perfectly neurotypical things to do

I literally don't care about any legal decision news until he is physically in a jail cell. Do you all not see that he has been indicted several times but the law doesn't even apply correctly because it's so corrupt and no one cares the US is sliding rapidly into a fascist dictatorship.

I've long believed that the crucial advantage of the term "queer" over the acronyms is that is acknowledges that diversity is not something you can exhaustively enumerate. we must be always prepared to embrace diversity that we hadn't considered before. this is the most consistent inclusivity

Also, while I'm on the topic, this is what we do every day in Fedimins (the rooms in .art's Discord server that we use for admin communication and support). There are over 100 instances represented in there - not all talking at the same time obviously, a lot of folk only pop in when they need a vibe check on something, but there's usually at least 20 of us in there active on any given day, pinging each other on issues, asking for advice, giving support, whatever.

We talk.

This isn't just me. This is all of us on well moderated instances with admins/mod teams that serve their community and prioritize their community's safety.

There are two people in our fedimins chat who have been busy collecting receipts for some truly awful instances full of hate and graphically disturbing content over the past couple of days, and we can see them working on it in fedimins, but nobody outside of that space can see the work they're putting in

If you act like a shitheel on one instance and suddenly you're surprised when you sign up on another instance to block evade and get banned right away, it's because we talk.

Byron/Universeodon admin saying shit like 'they work in isolation' and 'there's no discussion between these admins' is BS.

We share receipts, we keep records and logs, and work together to support a safe community between our instances.

Hey white people

Once upon a time some Black people came to fedi and joined some instances. They got harassed, and a few of them went 'hey, let's make our own instance, where we can set our own boundaries!'

Surprise, they got harassed off there too

"Why don't Black people just make their own instance?" is REALLY FUCKING SHITTY for many reasons that you'll probably never have to contend with, but that's one of them.
