i don't want "fedi" to grow
"fedi" as a community doesn't exist. it is many communities, some with overlap, some fully orphaned.
when people talk about wanting "fedi" to grow, to see widespread adoption, even with good intent, they are asking for folks on fedi who have carved out a niche, who have spent blood and tears and countless labor hours making a place folks like them can safely express themselves make room for those who routinely oppress them
I am threatened by the pursuit of growth, by "normalizing" fedi. because a lot of us are marginalized and *have nowhere else to go*. i get wanting your friends here. invite them. show them the ropes.
but what we need to focus on is combatting racism on fedi. queerphobia. ableism. classism. the instances that chase growth are the worst perpetrators of these issues.
so yeah, i'm hostile to those who talk more about metrics than people, talk more about fedi than communities, and who focus on making fedi more tolerable for those who are not already dispossessed

Katharina Debus mag das.
Martin Marheinecke hat dies geteilt.
»Es ist eine deutsche Lebenslüge, dass formale deutsche Bildung vor Antisemitismus schützen könnte«, sagte er. »Wenn wir ehrlich in die Geschichte reinschauen, dann war Antisemitismus von rechts und von links immer auch eine Sache der formal Gebildeten. Wir sollten nicht so tun, als ob sich das Bürgertum nicht radikalisieren könnte.«
... würde sogar sagen *vor allem auch* eine Sache der formal Gebildeten.
The deed is done. I'm now in vi mode in my interactive oksh shell. Let's see how long I last. 😅 #FreeBSD
Zum Glück ist das für manche weniger Hindernis und das freut mich :)
In der ganzen Debatte einfach lost, weil sie sich dem Narrativ "Migration=Problem" und "Geflüchtete= Gefahr für die Sicherheit" nicht widersetzen sondern fügen.

Stopping Trump's anti-trans policies: There are things individuals can do today, things state and local officials could enact immediately, and things that will require a Democrat to win in 2028 to have any chance at the national level.

Last night – Wednesday night – was the first journey of European Sleeper’s new service from Brussels to Venice. Except it wasn’t because the Italians decided Tuesday that they sadly couldn’t let the train into Italy, without giving any reason. So it only travelled as far as Innsbruck. ÖBB agreed to take passengers onwards which likely will cost European Sleeper dearly.

Release of PPP loan recipients' data reveals troubling patterns

ℹ️ No, I didn't denounce myself, otherwise I would have done it right at the moment of the buzz.
Read my statement, it's because of the BILD newspaper which first gave my first and last name, 2 month before Stern Magazin.
Normally, the rules of journalism forbid the publication of first and last names before a trial has even begun. BILD is a very good toilet paper. And clearly a newspaper that propagates reactionary ideals and hatred of refugees. This is a danger to German critical thinking.

How's your relationship? Are you on the Drama Triangle?
Understanding this theory has really helped me navigate my relationships with people.
A thread 🧵
On the triangle there are three positions:
Victim
Rescuer
Persecutor

#Psychology #Relationships #Family #Friendship #TransactionalAnalysis #Therapy #Psychotherapy
#ActuallyAutistic
I sometimes think we seek others to give us balance. To lend us a quality we urgently need.
⚖️
This puts a less macabre and/or self-destructive spin on victims seeking rescuers, or persecutors, and vice versa, and so on.
12/13
We poor humans.
Perhaps we're just trying to make ourselves complete.

Well what do you know
Marko Elez, one of the young software guys Musk has illegally turned loose to alter critical government high-tech services ...
... was, just back in December, posting on X about how he wanted there to be a "eugenic immigration policy" ...
... how "you could not pay me to marry outside my race" ...
... and "Normalize Indian hate", referring in this case to folks from India
the Wall Street Journal just broke the story (gift link): wsj.com/tech/doge-staffer-resi…
So sick of all these assholes.
before anyone complains about doxxing, remember that Marko, his boss, and the thousands like him would dox you at the drop of a hat. They gleefully celebrate it when they are the only ones who fight dirty, and cry foul prematurely.
These guys are cheaters, and deserve to be shunned.

I had to remove myself from being a reddit mod today. It was too much and I need to prioritize my mental health right now.
I can still communicate with others on the platform just fine. I just...can't look at the constant transphobia and the outcry from the community right now.
And that little red dot had me clicking it obsessively. Another post. Another comment. Another modmail.
I needed a break.
