Yeah, okay, I no longer believe social.tchncs.de is operating in good faith. Sorry. https://social.tchncs.de/users/milan/updates/71121
I encourage anyone who questions my position on this to go through my timeline from today BEFORE they respond.

this is totally one of the things I would love to see Mastodon's software used for! There is a local trans support group that meets once a week, but they organize on Facebook. If they could privately run an instance (zero federation) they could organize independently and members wouldn't have to worry about Facebook's stupid name policy.
on your own instance like
hey people should boost me so they can follow me so i can follow them so i can get all my peeps back
We need more tools built for regular folks. We need more tools that don't come with the baggage of learning to code, of dealing with the open source community.
We need more tools that help people do things, rather than just tools that help coders code.
@Cocoron I sure hope so.
Okay, I wrote a short essay (?) explaining the difference betwen Communism, Anarchism and different strains of Socialism:

I'd like to be in a good enough spot to host my own little instance maybe. I'll see how my week goes.
I hope y'all are doing okay today. I haven't been able to check in with others.
The shit you are experiencing here on Masto is 100% why I no longer post openly and frequently.
It's effects are not isolated, and I'm probably not the only one self-censoring because of it.
Hate speech and harassment should not be protected or valued, in any way.
My notes on effective ways to support @GinnyMcQueen:
- Fund: https://www.patreon.com/ginnymcqueen
- Boost: share/like her work
- Disrupt abuse: block social.tchncs.de & watch @israuor
- Care: check up on her well-being
Context:
- She's frequently harassed on social media
- Harassed here last Wed (Apr 26) [1]
- Even harassed by witches.town people (!) [2]

Please end capitalism so I can stop working overtime thanks. #introductions
POC - especially WOC and I see this happen a lot to Black and Indigenous women in particular - get told off for being "too political" just for talking about _the reality of their lives_. And now you want us to put such talk behind a content warning like it's a trigger? Do you know how often us talking about race gets fought back by White people as "omg you talking about racism is too triggering" as though racism doesn't affect OUR mental health? What's the cultural expectation here, geez!

Support is not a compliment.
SUPPORT IS MONEY.
SUPPORT IS DISRUPTING ABUSERS.
SUPPORT IS ACTIVISM
SUPPORT OTHER HUMANS WHO ARE IN DISTRESS, YOU DAFT SODS.
If you can watch the Juicero and Fyre Festival news cycles go down in one week and still think that wealth corresponds with merit or intelligence, then I've got a presidency to sell you
