I think that one reason (not the only one, but one) for people using ableist terms and metaphors here is the "im mentally ill or otherwise neurodivergent myself, so I can't be ableist / my ableism doesn't count" mindset.

Which isn't true. Trans people can perpetuate anti-trans bigotry and harm each other. Women can say sexist things and harm each other. Plus, no one can speak for a whole group.

We all have internalised lots of oppressive bullshit, and purity is impossible, but responsibility is not.

wonder if i could commission someone to make cute comics about how masto works

Hi fairydon, I'm still alive.

I have to correct a lot of awful assignments by confused students now so I thought maybe it would be nice to come here instead and pretend there is no work to be done. You know... 👻

Oh and have some 🍧

Awww yes, I KNEW here on wonderful Mastodon there were probably even people who… open up their e-readers and do stuff with them 😻

So, I really enjoyed reading this

If anyone is interested in contributing to a #FLOSS project and knows about web programming:

@codeawayhaley announced she wants to create a federated blog system that looks/feels like Tumblr.

It will be based on mastodon code - the first tasks will be to adjust mastodons UI and add RSS feeds.

Fascinating and in-depth blog post by the finder of a huge number of OpenVPN vulnerabilities that were not found by the recent code reviews. He both explains the vulnerabilities, and how he found them.
