"but that's way too little for an embedded C programmer to have made"

welcome to third world salaries

Just watched THIS post described as "nasty racist shit" and this is precisely when I stop taking you folks seriously at all.

We're done here. I've made my position known and I'm going to get on with my life.

LB it's me i'm the girlfriend and we're cuddling and eating pot noodles right now and it's better than whatever you're doing

if you're looking for a computer grease monkey with over 8 years of professional experience plumbing most sorts of tech, old and new, please take a look at our work. we're in desperate need of an income after 8 months failing to get a job anywhere.

i'm here to be a problem to those who choose to see me as a problem

i have plenty of friends who do not choose to see me as a problem

mastodon in theory: decentralized twitter

mastodon in practice: what if we pooled ten different early-2000s opinionated web forums together into a thunderdome

realizing that while this isn't an 'adult' account per se, nobody who i'm embarrassed about seeing my kinks and stuff is on here to see, so i can actually post about that with the appropriate tags, etc.

that said...

if you're a domme who's able to do hypnosis and is into putting cute lesbians on leashes hit me up...please

i have also been here since april 2017 folks

computer fairies was founded in april 13 2017

i've been pushed out of my own space because i wanted to be friends with the wrong people, apparently, literally it was a personal spat with a bigger instance admin which turned into "ooo this person is a mad abuser"

i wanted rhys to be my friend, not to be ghosted and belittled by them

i don't think that's too abusive to ask for, in a personal environment

that's the danger of #fediblock

Apart from the technical reasons, it's also just.. toxic. It takes Twitter's horrible culture of dogpiling people based on made-up justifications and applies it to the Fediverse. It ensures that every tiny mistake results in a massive argument (which never does any good, it just hurts everyone who gets involved) and the blocking of entire instances.

This makes Fediverse a less safe and welcoming place for everyone.

I'm not even mentioning the fact that many of the people who were targeted this time are queer and/or disabled.
This is not a coincidence. This kind of "canceling" often harms people who are more vulnerable and don't have a massive platform the most. That's just how it works.

let's break kayfabe for a minute:

have you considered: personally blocking each person you don't like for "spamming" "the" #fediblock hashtag, instead of rallying for "your" benevolent leaders to cut all ties with the entirety of the realm of "their" wicked despots and causing a rift in the propagation of the utopia that is decentralized federated microblogging posts

or do you just want to punish people

Going through #fediblock gave me a really iffy feeling. Some people are spamming the hashtag for some reason, others are slandering users for not having the same opinion on some topics as them and some other few really do deserve to be fediblocked for harassment of BiPOC and FLINTA*.
As I see it, as long as someone's not harassing someone else or spreading hate speech, why fediblock them? You're free to simply not follow that person. Why block their entire instance???
