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/

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

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.
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".
A lesson I wish I could put on a thumb drive for most humans:
When you're seeking community, shared identifiers and interests will never yield the same results that shared values and praxis does.
Someone being queer, or liking the things you like does not guarantee that they will value you adequately or treat you well.
I want an app called "Who to Boycott".
When I download it I am asked 30 questions about how I feel about issues and there is a sliding 1 to 5 scale going from support for to 100% against. It has things like use of fossils fuels, unions, a minimum wage, reproductive rights.
Then everyday it sends me a list of 5 products to boycott and why based on company or ownership stands on my specific issues, and 1 new question.
Based on several institutes that track policy stances and legislation.

Honestly don’t understand how people can dislike pigeons. I mean, look at them, they are so cool! We need more pigeon portraits.

- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.

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.
