i don't think i could ever own an iphone, even if one day i ever earn enough to afford one. it just stands against everything i strive for in computers. i don't understand people who own iphones exclusively much less people who develop iphone-only applications. i wish mastodon had twitter's ground breaking feature of disabling replies because i can already hear the fanboys coming

few things will make me as emotional as the very closing of the BBC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series with the Journey of the Sorcerer motif

community members are allowed to express hateful views with impunity, up to and including astonishing views such as endorsements of eugenics and calls for hate-motivated violence.
In one particular incident, the moderators of the Discord server engaged in a harassment campaign against a transgender user, including using their moderator privileges to edit the pronouns in their username from “they/she” to “who/cares”.
This quote from the interview clearly illustrates the attitude of the leadership:
[A trans person] joined the Discord server and made a big deal out of their pronouns [..] because they put their pronouns in their nickname and made a big deal out of them because people were referring to them as “he” [misgendering them], which, on the Internet, let’s be real, is the default. And so, one of the moderators changed the pronouns in their nickname to “who/cares”. […] Let’s be real, this isn’t like, calling someone the N-word or something.
