I think that would make sense for how I approach fedi as well. Because people see me as being vocal to the point of excess about like issues fedi has, and think I'm doing too much meta/drama posting, but for me it's what comes naturally to me and makes the most sense to me. I can't be in any network or any community and just accept the bad things for how they are.

I heard once that its an autism thing to be incapable of *not* calling out injustice or unethical things and trying to address them because it's what makes the most sense rather than swallowing your emotions
And this is often what gets us in trouble at jobs and makes moving up hard, because we can't stay in line, at least not without it being extremely painful.

I can't blame certain admins for going from "fun pleroma instance" to "we need to be strict in order to maintain federation" but: consider that forcing your users to be inauthentic for the sake of Mastodon admins who cancel you in bad faith, is not healthy for your space to grow into itself.
You'll be held to higher and higher standards and still end up blackmailed by those you're trying to please, and you'll lose good users.
Disqordia went through this too, I once tried to be the Good Admin™, keeping up a perfect instance block list, pulling users aside to ask them not to do certain things, and it really didn't make Disq any better or prevent anyone from disliking us because they don't actually care that we block who we're "supposed to" or take the actions they want us to.
Dont fall for it. Just be yourself and let your users be themselves. Even when there's issues. Even when there's arguments.

You can disagree with the fediblock protest, but it objectively did work to get the heat off of jorts.horse, who were being targeted for two easily ignorable joke posts on fediblock.
Now the anger is dispersed among all of us who showed solidarity for them and they are less targeted.
You may not understand or agree, but you can't deny the results. If solidarity efforts piss you off, that's a personal problem you should deal with.

"You can't hoard princesses!" the knights shouted.
"I don't," said the dragon. "Tima, for instance, is a farmer."
"That's not what... You keep them looked in!"
"The lock is on the inside."
"What?"
"They're not locked in. You're locked out."
"They can't do that!"
"I see why, now."

game journalists on twitter from the kotaku sphere acting like they’re above criticism & never done wrong is really crushing me today so i will share this here. it’s all i can do:

i think i will always be in the shadow of what they did to me and how they controlled the narrative about that. at least i kept proof.

kinda hurts to make a post asking for donations and get literally a single boost from my girlfriend, and not only no donations, but no views at all on my ko-fi page. it's literally more compelling to harass people online than to be disabled
gurp gurp gurp....

i have been unable to get a job since april of last year (if you have an opening for a frankly pretty damn good software engineer with 8+ years professional experience give me a call)

if a dude can make on patreon as much as i did in my previous job as an *embedded C software engineer* just telling people online they're racist, surely i, a trans latina, can do the same, right?

"what is the secret to happiness?"
"to not argue with fools."
"no, that can't be it"
"yes, you are correct."
i promise i'm cooler than my crotchetyness makes me seem. i'll try to post cooler stuff instead of engaging in discourse next time

another reason the fediblock spam is good praxis: it gives us control of the narrative for once, and puts them on the defensive
re: fediblock meta, snark
fucking learn a new psychology term
re: fediblock meta, snark
oh no but yeah they want you to think that anything against them is DARVO
which is in itself very DARVO of them
re: fediblock meta, snark
they want to keep the hashtag the way that it is now because they get to control it their way better this way.
re: fediblock meta, snark
i am tired of the bullying that #fediblock-heads have been doing on the fediverse since 2017 especially because i was a target of such harassment out of a personal spite against me that had nothing to do with the way i ran (no longer run, i've stepped down) my instance making their vitriol target the entire userbase instead of just me
it's dogpiling, more often than not
