     @edendestroyer @aral @fosstodon Probably not. YMMV.

     I thought that "Nuance for the oppressor is the hallmark of the privileged" was pretty dramatic, and I agree strongly.

     I thought the idea that programs should say 'user' not 'account' was dramatic, and I thought it was very silly. (The two words do not mean the same thing.)

     "Contentious" is the better word, I think, and you should not take it to mean I always disagree – or that it's necessarily a reason to mute someone.
