Reach out to me with tips or corrections. Be aware that my account is closely watched by the people I criticize. Assume that they will see any reply or post to me that isn't a DM. I have disabled the ability to see my followers, but that is not foolproof. If I'm stressing you out, this is my encouragement for you to prioritize self care by muting or blocking me.

Periodic post to remind me when I fuck up. I am doing my best, but these also aren't easy topics. [THREAD] If you are queer (or are an admin who cares about the safety of your queer users), do yourself a favour and block Mastodon.Art. This is their response to recent credible death threats against Furry.Engineer users. To be very clear, the "racism and harassment" mentioned here is reporting serious and credible death threats against a Furry.Engineer user. https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/on-instance-blocks-and-racism

@fedilore I'm the first person to say that defederation is an extreme measure that shouldn't be taken until other avenues have been exhausted. But the Mastodon.art admins have proven again and again that they are reactionary sorts that defederate at the drop of a hat and don't take criticism well at all. I think they definitely earned a fediblock at this point. @fedilore As someone who isn't trying to get involved with bullshit but is still affected by it, I'm honestly mystified. When the underprivileged engage in a pissing match amongst themselves, the only winners are the privileged. I'm not sure how much retaliating against dot-Art is going to accomplish, even if its leadership is operating in bad faith. |
I know the language stuff can seem silly, but it is important.
Your identity is never just one thing. It's also a community and a history and a shared experience and understanding.
It's how you place yourself in the context of society.
