@AnarchoNinaWrites Absolutely that. The demos ran on an anti-demicratic platform based on blackmail so they didn't have to actually represent any base whatsoever. They did this because they could get away with it in their minds and now it's proven that didn't fly, they are acting up like toddlers deprived of yet another bar of chocolate. And they would, without blinking, do it all over again because they will never be the ones to suffer the consequences of their actions.

@aral what did I miss this time? 😱

@aral This is just a joke, right? Right?

@aral not surprising: maga will remain manga until they become direct victim of the huge orange man-baby and liberals will have their heads up their ass all the way down to the fascist Ethan state becomes a reality.

@aral they haven't read much of your blog, I would suspect. 😅

@aral
I'm truly sorry my country isn't more enlightened and has treated you like that. If at all possible, I?ll?pay you reparations on your next visit in the form of drinks on me. 💚

@db0

@shlee He's your 'typical white dude', I guess. @aral

@aral About what's been said: Aral does not mince words, ever, yet I have not seen him attack individuals when talking about wayla?d and and it's screensaver problems. His analysis is that group culture is ableist, and I have yet to see a compelling argument against that. So let's change that culture in stead of defending it. FOSS is way to enlightened of an ideal not to, it's also way to important to exclude our visually impaired friends. 💚 3/3

@aral Yet this difference is key to understand what's going on. Individuals working on a project might very well have good intentions, and many do without question, but the culture that grows in all organisations will affect their behaviour, it will also inform their priorities. When someone calls such a culture out, it might free them to think about what's happening orbit might entrench them. Think about whether or not the latter is happening to you. It's important. /2

People can be so defensive, and it hurts communities. Perhaps we all (including me, know) could learn how to read posts dispassionately, analyse them, and then react based on what is actually written.

the defensiveness is exactly what happens when @aral posts some heavy critique on ableist culture in foes projects and people jump on this like he just murdered puppy's in front of their eyes, none out hose reactions notice any difference between individuals and the culture that they belong to./1

@aral @haploc the fact there are multiple words for it already has an 'inuit have X number of words for snow'-ring to it. While the factoid is not entirely true, there is a kernel of truth to it. So we can conclude that the crapitalism is omnipresent in the enshittocene.

@vowe #ALT4you

@aral wouldn't a mug be a better idea? have it visible at all times. 😅

@fabio @aud @aral @eatyourglory no server should have millions of followers. It goes against everything that makes the fediverse...well...diverse. The fact that servers can be held accountable is what drives the need for moderation, it's a tool in the arsenal of any decent admin. Threads takes a huge shit on all admins because they are monolithic. Threads takes away tools for moderation from all servers. That's why anyone with any sense should defederate now.

@Professor_Stevens @aral @selzero are you disrespecting CCC too? 😡 /s
