A perfect setup might not always be the right one

I have just sent to @iftas and @nivenly each a separate Github issue, each entitled “Stop platforming transphobic abusers who send us death threats”, about the person they platform who did that to me, after I criticized his attitudes regarding fellow trans people and fellow survivors of rape.

Both issues are very similar in content: in both cases, I ask them to deplatform a man who abused the Queer Fedi community for too long. A simple gesture to signal their intent to listen to our community.

This is the one I sent Nivenly:

This is the one I sent IFTAS:

https://github.com/iftas-org/lote/issues/17

I have taken archival snapshots of the issues on third-party archival services, as a possible deletion would constitute a form of antagonistic reply.

Queer people are advised to remember that emoji reactions such as thumbs up and thumbs down are NOT anonymous on Github, and prioritize their safety.

Fedi, if i made a blocklist of every person with financial ties to the companies that platform the guy who sent me death threats, would you find it useful?

It would work much like the blocklist of trans women the guy who took issue with me for defending fellow rape survivors assembled - no appeals.

Since social adjacency was enough to exclude trans women from the Fediverse, I think it’s fair we protect our community the same way.

Reading the autobiography of my idol, Alberto Santos=Dumont.

He was a Brazilian inventor who designed and flew the first practical airplane.

The Wright Bros achieved the first powered, heavier than air flight. A huge deal! Alberto met & collaborated with them, and used their wing warping system for his plane.

But the Wright Bros flyer could only launch from a rail. It had to be retrieved and rolled back to the starting point.

Alberto's could land in any flat field and take off again.

Wanted: a patched phone operating system which instead of having permissions for apps returns them all random data, unless I have allowed them access to the real thing.

Randomly generated address books, location coordinates, WiFi network names, picture folders full of noise, battery levels that fluctuate wildly.

Fucking poison the data gathering well. Make it looks pretty realistic. My phone has enough storage and compute to create realistic looking names and telephone numbers. Let the advertisers think I'm traveling back and forth on the Orient express.
