Dunno. It’s the first I've heard of anybody having an issue. My posts are set public, and I just checked the tweesecake.social moderated servers list (from the outside). disabled.social doesn't appear to be on it. Neither is tweesecake on disabled.social's moderated list. And I'm seeing your posts just fine.

@Fragglemuppet
This doesn't directly answer your question, but…

If you think you're autistic (possibly and ADHD, aka AuDHD), you are welcome to chat and seek resources in the #ActuallyAutistic (and @actuallyautistic) community. We consider self-diagnosis entirely valid 'round these parts!

Personally, I've never been formally diagnosed through a neuropsych eval. I have an unofficial Dx by a psychologist and tons of lived experience.

@Radical_EgoCom
What you're asserting is effectively, "anybody who questions our methods is a hindrance to our cause." It feels like you're saying you're opposed to criticism, opposed to opposition, opposed to oversight.

@Radical_EgoCom
Let me put this a different way:
I'm pretty confident that you believe that physical violence is the most powerful tool fascists possess.

I believe the most powerful tool fascists possess is the control of information and thought. Control over the truth.

I believe the truth matters. I will continue to use words to fight for that, and I will continue to use the truth to challenge murders and terrorism when appropriate. I know you have already deemed me useless. So be it.

@Radical_EgoCom
I think we have a fundamental difference as to the meaning of anti-fascism. I think your position is that anti-fascism necessitates "defeating” fascism, and that anybody in opposition to any and all means necessary to that end is useless.

I think anti-fascism means “opposing” fascism, which takes a variety of forms, not all of which support the full horror of world war.

FWIW, Merriam Webster agrees with me.

@Radical_EgoCom
While I agree that “a peaceful protest" won't stop the fascists, how do you know that “isn't an opinion, but a fact"? Can you prove this fact to be universally true?

3% of the world's population died in WWII. In today's numbers, that's 240 million people. I'm not ready to write that off as "the cost of doing business.”

@Radical_EgoCom
And there is the core of our disagreement. I think I'm in favor of democratic-socialist policies like universal healthcare as a human right and UBI. I'm opposed to communism. To put one specific point on it, I believe America should have more than 2 political parties, not fewer.

In the end, we would have opposed each other. Maybe that's because I styled myself a “pacifist anti-fascist”. I think more likely it's because I believe your goals are also worth opposing.

@Radical_EgoCom
This is also why I think it's so important to have these discussions, to engage in the non-violent act of opposing fascism. It helps us know each other. Not all anti-fascists are the same. If we fight together, without knowing each other, we will naturally fight against each other sooner or later.

Also, thank you for the open and honest discussion!

@Radical_EgoCom
I think you've made it quite clear what you are (or will be) fighting against. I'm curious: what would you say you're fighting for?

@Radical_EgoCom

I’m contemplating what "full support for the fight against fascism" means. I think you're implying that my refusal to take a human life diminishes my ability to fully support the cause.

So here's a clarifying question for you, if you don't mind: are there any methods of warfare you would never consider in the fight to defeat fascism?

To all of you who expressed support for Mangione's assassination of UHC CEO Brian Thompson:
Do you also support Livelsberger's suicide car bombing of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas?
If not, where exactly do you draw the line and why?

Seriously, I'd love to puzzle out the ethical questions with somebody who's interested.
[Full disclosure: I'm a pacifist antifascist and don't support either]

A specific and technical question about #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, and #Mastodon:

If boost a toot, I understand how and where that toot gets propagated to other instances. If that toot is the beginning of a thread or a reply, do any other toots in the thread get propagated as well?

Practically speaking, if I boost the beginning of the thread, can I assume any replies are visible to all my off-instance followers? If I boost a reply to a thread, can I assume the beginning toot is?
