retrocomputing, heads up about a bad vendor 

turns out one Apple II vendor, ReActiveMicro, apparently bans people from buying from them, and shares that ban with other vendors, for “wokeness”: https://www.reactivemicro.com/terms-and-conditions/

You can and WILL be blacklisted from all purchasing privileges in perpetuity for any of the following:

(snip)

  • Public postings, comments, declarations, targeting, or encouraging of; libel, slander, defamation, mockery, accusations, attacks, disrespect, discrediting, nonfactual information, wokeness/canceling and/or threats against any or all; members of the Community, RM customers, or personnel

I may have just sent an e-mail to their snitch line sales e-mail specifically asking to be added to the list

- i cannot overemphasize this: dont be the motherfucking mastodon hoa. the entire reason bsky has been as successful as it was, is because too many people here told people "how to behave" on their first day, or shamed them because "they werent doing it right"

if you want mastodon to thrive, you have to make it "worth it to come here". nobody likes being shamed by rando strangers.

@anna there's a reason why the developer "moonchild productions" has been often called "manchild productions" in the firefox fork development circles for years now

reminder that pale moon by manchild moonchild productions is absolutely not the firefox fork to be jumping ship to today connectified.com/@masukomi/112
