Anyone else on the Mastodon.social instannce find it really lagging today? I'm at the point where I really want to change instances, but I want to find one that I jell with. So far, I can't decide. And before anyone even says it, hell no not cane and able.
@EmeraldRose@LavenderPawprints I would never in 1 million years be caught dead using that instance. If everyone in the blind community migrated to it, I would probably very happily go back to X.
Okay, blind people will strait up wine and bitch and complain anytime someone makes a statement about, "oh, you can do things, but your blind?" Yet, these same motherfuckers will up and create a mastodon instance that leans into abelist language.
I'm all for reclaiming things, but at this point you're just inviting assholes like me to come along to provide snarky commentary on the utter ridiculousness of your stance.
So, which is it. Are you able because you use a cane, or does the cane enable you to...You know what? That doesn't make any sense either.
@EmeraldRose@InsaneAtheist I just told my girlfriend about this instance and she thinks it's just as funny as me.
No offense meant to those of you over there on that instance, it's just I find it funny as shit that that's the name that was chosen. I mean of all things...
@EmeraldRose@LavenderPawprints@GreenSkyOverMe no. It's meant to be a wordplay on Kane as in, what us blind people use. Like, if you have a cane you are able to do things. But it's sort of a double meaning because of the whole cane and able from the Bible thing. But I'm pretty sure the creator means it in a visually impaired empowerment sense.
