this is either planned maliciousness, OR a level of naiivete that means the ethical security #purism 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? " #purism refuses to list #libremone 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?
https://community-covenant.net/version/1/0/ lays out explicitly bad behavior to avoid.
#purism 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, #libremone and #purism 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 ( http://luckybancho.ldblog.jp/uncyclopediaeorzea_en.html ) and making profiles for all my characters so far on my new home server is... approximately something like being productive, right? #ffxiv

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
