honestly, with @brainblasted talking to the admins and the admins making it clear their stance is pro-bigotry in the "well mneh mneh we just luv freeze peach too much so we can't do anything to stooop that" way, i'd urge everyone to be really vocal that #purism / #libremone are now selling dangerous products
the some products might even be good! but paying for the security of a gated community means nothing when the guard knows your roommate's a serial killer, and does nothing about it.
@wigglytuffitout @brainblasted I am extremely disconcerted by the evidence that Purism has no idea how the fediverse works and does not care.
@oct2pus @wigglytuffitout @brainblasted I would agree except they're literally using a rebranded Mastodon server, so it's less about an ephemeral idea about the fediverse and more not understanding the software they are using.
@InspectorCaracal @oct2pus @brainblasted also a distinct lack of understanding of *why this old way is the old way* - which makes me want to tear out my hair and scream on the floor in an entirely different way. the market forces shifted for reasons away from that oldschool style, and for reasons they should probably want to, like, know about, instead of just going "what do you mean there's not the same market for bespoke horsewhips there was now than there was in 1809"
