there's an intersection between privilege and how much someone trusts in authority
basically, it’s like this. the more privilege you have, the less likely you are to have ever been at the wrong end of militarized police forces, unfortunate socioeconomic outcomes, and general institutional oppression
the ability to blindly assume good faith in all circumstances is not something that everyone gets to have. please understand this in your conversations with peers that maybe don’t have it as well.
mastodon meta (fairly important)
gargron is now on record as saying that the mastodon api is only for mastodon

what this basically means is that the mastodon ecosystem of apps, helpful tools, etc will only ever be reliably compatible with mastodon with the rest of us jumping through hoops to try to reverse engineer it
so, in summary, a community that is allegedly federated actually does have an avenue through which one platform can control it. just fact.

But when you're left in charge of your younger siblings and a house after being a professional ass-kisser to earn Daddy's Trust... and also fight to keep our mom away from the house...
Hey, maybe don't fucking get fatally wasted the same night he leaves, and return the next morning, get literally random people inside the house, fight with us in your drunk as shitness and vomit everywhere...
as a random side note, while i was busy building stuff all day, i was still subjected to chels nonstop keyboard banging and occasional whimpers of terror, intermixed with various other sounds of torment as she "enjoyed" resident evil 2.
at this rate, if an actual zombie crisis occurs, ill be ready to act due to being thoroughly desensitized to the sounds of horror.
