If I had an old account on a server that's been deleted for like 2 years now, how likely is it that those posts are still floating around somewhere in another server's cache? If I delete posts from this account, how long are they likely to stay in other servers' caches? I frankly have no idea how any of this works I'm just spitting out buzz words from other posts I've seen

@magicalgrrrl we are all so accustomed to attack instead of build solidarity, that when someone does anything wrong most people (on the left, fedi, etc) react by cutting them out and cursing their every action. Which is what he was doing about her and now it's what a bunch of white queer people are doing about him. My autism hates double standards so it's infuriating to watch people call each other irredeemable for harassment and bad faith interpretations and then engaging in it all too

@magicalgrrrl yeah and that's also fucked up. I understand disliking her but willingly misgendering or deadnaming a trans person is never okay, even if she had personally provoked him and as far as I can tell this was at stuff long past
I guess I just hate that when someone does anything genuinely messed up, people will find issue with everything else they do and it becomes difficult to wade through that for the things they actually need to be held accountable for
On "either" ""side""

@rybson @HauntedOwlbear one of the anarchist ones sent me a follow request and I accepted it at first, but I didn't follow back. But then it kept popping up in my follow requests a few times until I blocked or rejected a request. I think they were mass following leftists and then going through their follows to re-follow if they don't follow back. Like, pay attention to me, I'm in your notifications again!

@skinnylatte @ideogram I can't tell if this is a disagreement or an addition but for the record, I'm not trying to say America is the worst. More that, despite how horrible it is here, it's kinda horrible everywhere. Often as a result of US imperialism, or European imperialism.
I maintain that a lot of immigrants were lied to about the American Dream. How it goes is going to heavily depend on race, education, and connections, but is it really that great for the average person?

@ideogram @skinnylatte what you have to remember is that every problem in the US is also made into everyone else's problem. People still immigrate to this horrible country because, largely due to this horrible country, conditions in their home country are even worse. Or, in some cases, they're not much worse but everyone lies to them about how good it is here. No one is immune to propaganda :/

It's looking like the people we were going to move to #PortlandOR with are actually going to leave the country instead because they have a support system elsewhere. So R and I are looking for community, jobs, and/or roommates pretty much anywhere in the #PNW (especially in cities) because we can't afford to stay in Cali but need access to queer and leftist spaces.
Portland is necessary if we can't find roommates though, because without their rental laws I doubt we could get an apartment

@SaltyMonk @0xabad1dea anyone who has a hard time showering every day is probably disabled in some way, if "only" depression. If someone sets a new year's resolution to shower every day, it means they appreciate the value in showering every day but struggle to. Which probably means they're disabled. I don't know who else you could have been referring to.

@SaltyMonk @0xabad1dea "disabled people should just stop being disabled" thanks, I'll take that advice into consideration, it's probably very helpful

@Mab_813 I think people's definition of "stable democracy" is "no one even thinks of trying to be authoritarian" which is... Basically impossible. Even the most democratic of cultures will have a few fascists; the real measure of democracy is how much power those fascists can grab

@PedestrianError @ordinoides @mekkaokereke there are way too many people who view enforcing gender roles as more important than nearly anything else, including that mom's surgical work or what's best for kids. I wish they weren't working in schools, but alas there are so many of them they're gonna be in every industry :/

@aud @mekkaokereke @saraislet another reason to protect our queer community like hell right now. If you're not visibly queer (or not queer at all), this is a great time to walk with your queer friends and do everything you can to keep them safe. We may have made a lot of progress against STIs, but there are a lot of people trying to recreate this gap for future generations by getting rid of us en masse again now

So now that @roari has a *part time job*, the county has decided we need less than $100 in food stamps! Even though they're making less than our rent!
I've been procrastinating asking for help, but we're already behind on rent and this is the last straw. I keep thinking we just gotta wait out my last year of school, but if we don't pay rent by next month I won't be able to sign up for my last semester of classes :/

@elexia @ItsMorgan every time someone says sex work is wrong because sex workers are being exploited, I wonder how many jobs they've actually had and how many of those were obtained through nepotism and/or Ivy League networking
Because I've never met anyone else below like upper-middle-class that had a job and wasn't being exploited, even my most enjoyable jobs had some Bad Shit Happening and human rights being violated all the time
So why aren't SWERFs etc calling for a ban on those jobs? /rhet

@InternetEh the tiktokification of Sid 😔 /lh

@InternetEh I'm not sure that's where it came from, but it is a common way to censor "sex" on there to avoid censorship

@AnthonyJK yeah, I can understand thinking there's some sort of conspiracy but assuming the power is in the hands of Jewish people is just repeating the same old anti-Semitic talking points. The reason that no US politician is allowed to do anything that doesn't help Israel is that Israel is profitable for US capitalists (most of whom are not Jewish). Israel has no power over the US, it's just the rich having power over everyone else yet again

@eob and thank you for listening, and of course the bot! You're doing something very good here.

@meganL @eob agreed! If anything, a modification that would make it better for Americans would be adding a state or province where available instead of just city and country. I can figure out the numbers, mostly because the posts give good references, but I don't know all nearby cities and if the state is given I can instantly know if this is close enough to potentially affect me.
That being said, this is also something we can look up! In fact that's what I did with the one post I saw for the US

@AnthonyJK @hrefna yeah I have plenty of problems I've had with TBS and over time most of them have proven to be lies that people told me. At that point it's like... If there are so many things wrong with it, why resort to making shit up? The debunked lies have ended up making me trust it more in the long run because why lie if you can get your point across with the truth?
