This is you saying things about people.
In my thread about improving Mastodon and having empathy for why people choose BlueSky.
And yes, I said stuff about you. Specifically, that you without irony, did a Mastodon.
The Republicans have been putting almost all their energy for the last quite a few years on demonizing gay and trans people.
In that light it is quite strange to me that they are the ones sending out their second in command with eyeliner and a pink tie. I just can't quite wrap my head around this. Anyone?

Disrespecting a country doesn't mean hating all of it's people.
In fact one could argue that equating all the people with their country is the far worse sin.
You can hate China, Russia, the US, or whatever country for what they are doing without hating every single citizen of these countries.
Nothing about this is "fair" to Black people.
In the long run, maybe #Mastodon and the #Fediverse could become a better haven for Black people. But that will require a lot of work and self-reflection by the people who are currently shaping the discourse around here - starting with reading up on why #BlackTwitter bounced off so hard around here.
And it goes further than that - I mean, by all accounts Mastodon is still overwhelmingly white and European / North American. There is very little representation from, say, Africa or South Asia.
And if people from these communities don't come here because they feel they would be screaming into the void... well, the best we can do is listen to the concerns of those who _are_ sticking around.
This is what the city of #Bakhmut looks like now, which #Russia occupied a year ago.
The city is completely destroyed. All houses are destroyed. There are no people.
In Russia they are proud of what their army has done.
that the beauty of it, being marketable does not mean they have to design to a particular persons whims..
An artist who is good, but follows their own internal vision will usually create great works, and that will be **more** marketable than a design intended to target a particular person.
So even here it is in support of what Im saying, creating good art, by whatever mechanisms createt he best art, is inherently marketable because we value that as a people.
In other words you have the cause and effect wrong, an artist is marketable because we put value in good art... he doesnt create good art and is marketable because he is designing for the market.
