i already don't have a support structure here. i already barely have friends on the fediverse. i have nothing to lose by being loud and annoying about meta that is actively harming us every single day. i'm done being polite
@caroline no no a favourite there sent the right message, thank you
mavica is spelled lowercase, just in case you didn't know :]
@mavica_again yeah I’m so sorry! Corrected before I even saw your reply
@mavica_again Fredi is not an easy place to get close to people. It's too public for that. Even though a lot of very personal stuff is being shared, it's the one on one contact that builds friendships. Even online. Try inviting a mutual follower to a private chatroom and see how that works out. Or maybe accept the invitation of somebody reading this.
I really appreciate your content by the way. Keep up the good work.
@hackbroetchen i appreciate and thank you for the well meaning message but the wires are crossed a little.
i am not bemoaning "not having friends", but rather the social fall i've (and every other member of the instance i've run for 8 years now also has) taken because of transphobic smear campaigns designed to drive trans women away from the fediverse.
a lot of it came to a head in recent days: https://fedi.aria.dog/notice/AsuwGyt3gdLsMFDpE8
@hackbroetchen the point of the post you replied to is that, already having taking this social fall, i have nothing to lose by being annoying by continuing to point out how we're mistreated. so i'm not going to shut up about it
@mavica_again sorry for misunderstanding you.
Being dropped right into a very trans heavy bubble of the fediverse right from the start, I had the notion that fedi is one of the few places where trans people are not constantly bullied. Sad to hear that it is different in other corners...
@mavica_again I hope and didn’t intend this to be me favoriting something negative, because I read it more like “hell yeah Mavica be who you are and if people don’t like that it’s not your problem”
