so, abled people, please call us "disabled people" and not "the disabled".

Friendly reminder: The words homomisia, transmisogyny, hate, oppression, heteronormativity, cissexism, intersexism, anti-queer .., erasure and antagonism do exist.
To call it a "phobia" means to trivialize the problem, to misalign the responsibility and to discriminate against people with an actual phobic disorder.

IMHO disallowing toot-text searching should also come with an amendment to instance Codes of Conduct to explicitly make screencapping & reposting followers-only or DM toots an offense.

these things tend to go hand in hand.

Freundliche Erinnerung: "Körperliches Geschlecht existiert nicht" bedeutet nicht "du hast keine Körperteile".
Es bedeutet "dass du Körperteil A hast (zB XY-Chromosomen) macht nicht automatisch dass du auch Körperteil B hast (zB Hoden)",
und "wie dein Körper aussieht und benannt wird, ist unabhängig davon, was dein Geschlecht ist".

if you find a google docs link, do not be alarmed. simply permanently seal off the room you found it in.

🚨🚨🚨 Really major Gmail phishing attack going around right now. Do NOT click on an unexpected "Open in Docs" link.

Whether or not you have, now is a great time to review the apps you've authed to your account: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions

so, what open source projects are good and welcoming with new people getting involved, particularly ones who haven't contributed before?

If text search is ever implemented, it should be limited to your home timeline/mentions only. Lack of full-text search on general content is intentional, due to negative social dynamics of it in other networks

I heard you, don't worry, I'll cut this for a while because I'm afk for a few days and that's the only thing I can do from here, I'll take time to read/answer/address your comments when I'm back!

fun fact: clericalist also caches deleted toots (like from ephermal.glitch.social) forever, so you can just search them despite them being gone
isn't this search engine such a great idea
