elilla&, tactical travesti

I never know what kind of crap will show up when I post something that acts as techbro bait, only that I'm guaranteed to have some asshole to block. but why exactly is a magical little surprise box of shit; they never cease to find creative ways to be a bigot. it's impressive. today's hot take its "everyone living in Russia is to be assumed to endorse the regime" and apparently the problem with the dev above is due to his Russianess. I'm sure that Putin himself ordered the Mastodon app buttons to remain unlabelled

followed by ableist slur.

@elilla professionals are ppl who get paid to do sth vs those who don't. that does not mean that they are good at doing their profession.

i hope more ppl will understand this?

@tamtararam I think it's understood in this context that "professional" means "trained in design", and it's perfectly ok to say your app will follow the vision of a trained team. I'm a big defender of design as a discipline and that the expertise of designers is worthy of respect.

where it goes wrong here is the notion that education in design means you're not going to even *hear* from the users. this is kinda against everything design even *is*. it's a bit like saying "he's a trained doctor so shut up, he doesn't want to hear about your symptoms".

notice that the professional designers here weren't even asked whether they agree with the attitude; the programmer simply weaponised the fact that they *exist* to shut out the user out of hand.

@elilla hm, I can't see any such replies. I must be doing something right with instance moderation

@kescher activepub doesn't fetch all replies that my instance got to your instance, unless you're following the reply author, or you're following me and I boost the replies.

this is one of several not very intuitive features that people often think of as a bug but it's actually fundamental to keep the fedi as nice as it is (stuff don't get pushed everywhere, unless people in your instance have actively decided to subscribe to them; people you follow have boosted *my toot* into your timeline, not its replies.)

@elilla Fair, that's something I hadn't thought about. Still, some replies are from instances I've limited
