I’m a woman and child

If you really want to help this person I’d suggest being a friend to him. Don’t talk about the stuff you disagree on. Every time he mentions it, be very clear that you emphatically disagree and that the positions that he holds cause you harm. Do not get drawn into a debate, just states how it negatively affects you and end the conversation. If he can accept that boundary then you can build a friendship, and that friendship will eventually provide you with the sufficient mutual respect to potentially begin to change minds with open and vulnerable conversation. It has to be a real friendship though, you can’t be faking it.

That’s all a lot of energy and effort, but it’s the kind of sustained relational support that can effectively promulgate change.

I believe the memo is saying meta will benefit in the end because they can utilise community innovation already built in their own architecture

I’ve been embracing the weirdness of multiple platforms with distinct cultures and equally enjoying going to different parts of the internet again after quite some time! I do miss the sense that in browsing Reddit you could sample the cultural pulse of a particular demographic cluster.

If I’m on the TestFlight is it important to switch?

The other 5% were furious

I think he was just trying to be coy

Automod was a useful tool, there’ll be a version here I’m sure.

I truly think that welcoming corporate interests into the fediverse is very much counter to everything that I find compelling about it. Once meta carves out a seat at the table the dream of a digital commons operated by and for the community is dead.

When the gif doesn’t load but you imagine the rest of it anyway:

I think it would be pretty easy to use the API and js DOM manipulation to do this on the client side

I love this! I’ve been getting much more confident in this way as well, as I start to really internalise that there were so many ways I was stopping myself from being comfortable purely to make the cis/hets around me feel like everything was “normal”
