this is either planned maliciousness, OR a level of naiivete that means the ethical security offers can never be fulfilled.

this is a safe space, but being run by people who think that a safe space can first be achieved by no moderator reports at all (!), and now is emphatically saying safety can be achieved by NOT letting people who are targets of specific types of harassment know they're safe because the space is explicitly against sexism/racism/etc.

...peak techbro.

ultimately it always translates to "we don't publicly post the rules because every single person gets a different version of them to follow, depending on sex, gender, skin color, phase of the moon, and if we like you or not."

aka, get ready for the bff of a mod to get away with murder while you get bounced for eating a hot dog with mustard instead of kechup.

or, the more likely variant in this case? " refuses to list rules because who stays and who goes depends on $$ given"

the attribution's right there at least for the open-source community guidelines. but comparing the two?

community-covenant.net/version lays out explicitly bad behavior to avoid.

just says "don't be bad. and if you have any questions about what bad is, privately contact an admin."

listen, i may not be a tech wunderkid, but i've been around for awhile. "follow the rules or else. the rules are all unspoken and we're not going to elaborate more unless it's in private." ...is dodgy.

well, and are continuing to be run by "is this just them being hopelessly naiive, or is this some sort of malice"

i'd still think a "hey, we're sorry bout the screw-up" would be in order, as it now just leaves the rules stressing about how they totally will have moderators accepting reports from other instances hanging there awkwardly, smelling of an unfinished scandal.

the effort is commendable - but boy, that removal of examples of harassment is GLARING.

listen, finding an encyclopedia eorzea generator ( luckybancho.ldblog.jp/uncyclop ) and making profiles for all my characters so far on my new home server is... approximately something like being productive, right?

another thoroughly good example, evidence of babby harp's first celeb crush:

i've been on mastodon for months and i still don't know what praxis is exactly, though i can usually garner meaning from context

but i have no idea what a tankie is

like i gather it's a certain type of shitheel motherfucker but what is tankie short for. the only mental image i get with 'tankie' is 'like a tank in warfare but cutesy?' which then leads down that dark road of those japanese rpgs where all the tanks are generic moeblob anime girls for some godforsaken reason??

i mean all i know of nier automata is

1. friends tried to explain the lore to me once after i watched the end of drakengard 3 after one streamed it; i still don't understand it all, but i think nobody does, including yoko taro

2. saw some streams of the actual gameplay from friends playing it

and still, i want to know... TOOBEE WHAT BRAND ARE YOU WEARING? DO THEY DO CUSTOM SIZES? WHAT STARCH ARE YOU USING ON THAT SKIRT? COULD YOU LET ME KNOW PLEASE

Another genderless insult you can use when you remember your keys are still on your desk

"harp maybe you should actually go the fuck to sleep properly?"

i made that post about being too tired to eat, nibbled once slice of pizza, succumbed to about a 45min-1hour nap in my recliner, then ate the other slice

spoonie dining, folks

please join me in the traditional spoonie feast: Too Tired/Hurty To Eat

the prime mood of

"maybe this new symptom means my body is broken enough to actually get a diagnosis and then treatment"

anyway my shoulder tightness is now working on impinging that nerve, so my pointer and thumb keep going a bit numb, so that's... fun
