In case still impaled on that fence…

Every log on, repost is essentially a donation to #MAGA/#Trump campaign and a #FarRight future.

If your impact is so powerfully positive (not just talking to yourself/bots/nuts) and/or those fabulous business connections really do put bread on your table, maybe a #TwitterDeactivate until #USElections Day 🗳️,November 5th? Even 30 days prior would be something 🤷🏻‍♀️🧵

About point 5


See three comments above. I'm already trying. But I'm pretty sure I'm not nearly trying hard enough.

I can't call out behaviour that I don't see. And I don't see any racist, sexist, misogynist, ableist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic etc. behaviour in my stream, simply because I've semi-muted some 85% of my contacts to keep as much off-topic cruft away from my stream as possible.

All I can do is adapt my own way of posting and minimise the damage I'm potentially dealing. But even that's limited. Take image posts, for example. My image descriptions can't possibly not be ableist to someone, even if each one of my images has two descriptions. My pictures of @juno may potentially be sexist to say the least. And I still haven't replaced my profile pictures with images without eye contact to protect neurodiverse users.

My own contacts aren't intersectional enough themselves. I have at least one, maybe two Black women amongst the 15% who are permitted to send me their posts. But even that one trans woman amongst these 15% is white. And I do not follow anyone first who doesn't have anything to say that's interesting within the scope of my channel.

To skip right to the end of this point: You wrote...

Still, technology can make a difference; see Mastodon and today’s fediverse are unsafe by design and unsafe by default and Steps towards a safer fediverse for more.


I can't do anything here.

That is, I could. However, it would involve the Fediverse outside of Mastodon. Places which, thanks to their technological features, are magnitudes safer and more private than Mastodon. And that wouldn't be helping. Instead, it'd be bad in many ways.

First of all, as you've written yourself, suggesting people move someplace else is racist. And no, it doesn't matter if they move from Mastodon to Mastodon or from Mastodon to (streams) or even only Hubzilla. The only acceptable solution would be for racism and sexism and misogyny and homophobia and transphobia and ableism etc. etc. pp. to fully disappear from any and all Mastodon timelines. Immediately. With not the faintest trace left behind.

Second, I know that oppressed minorities, Black people first and foremost, cling to Mastodon for their dear lives because, as bad as Mastodon turned out to be, they either don't know that the Fediverse is more than just Mastodon. Or if they do know, they consider everything else in the Fediverse to be even worse. Because it isn't Mastodon. Because they don't really know it, and they don't want to find out the hard way by trying.

Third, I couldn't tell anyone about anything that isn't Mastodon without being a mansplaining reply-guy anyway. I'm dead-serious, I can't.

And fourth, who gives anything upon what a privileged white cis-het male writes who isn't even on Mastodon himself?

About point 2


I don't use the Fediverse for microblogging anyway. I never came from Twitter to Mastodon. I've never been on Twitter, and this identity of mine has never been on Mastodon or anything else geared towards microblogging first and foremost. I've tried Mastodon, but after many years on Friendica and Hubzilla. And this series of comments took me four or five hours to write and largely re-write, and I touch-type on a full-size hardware keyboard. That's nothing in comparison with how long it takes me to describe an image, but still.

Thus, I don't post that much anyway. And I only repeat (= boost) what I really want my own contacts to see.

On top of that, again, I don't post about real life. This channel is not about real life.

Even then, I know the Fediverse is a minefield. At the very least, I'm treading on eggs almost whenever I post something or comment on something.

I can't possibly know all instances of me being racist or sexist or misogynist or homophobic or transphobic or even only ableist. And believe me, I know that it's impossible for me to describe my own images in a way that isn't ableist to someone. The only way I don't have to throw some group of disabled Fediverse users in front of the bus when describing my images is by not posting the images in the first place and then not mentioning that I could have posted an image.

In fact, chances are that the portraits of my little in-world sister @Juno Rowland I want to post on my specialist OpenSim image channel @Jupiter Rowland's (streams) outlet are disturbingly sexist, maybe enough so to either call for the "moderation" on the (streams) instance to take action or, if that fails, have the whole instance Fediblocked. Every single last one of them with no exception. Or if not all of them, then at least some of the outfits she wears. How am I supposed to know beforehand?

Or maybe I'm racist already for only having white avatars. Never mind that having a Black avatar as a white user is every bit as bad as Blackfacing, and never mind the OpenSim doesn't even provide the means to build convincing Black avatars in the first place.

Considering all this, it doesn't even matter that I've delegated posting portraits, memes and the like to two separate (streams) channels rather than doing it on Hubzilla because (streams) can make Mastodon blank sensitive images out, and Hubzilla can't. It doesn't matter that I've done so to be more inclusive towards people who are easily triggered by certain visual content such as eye contact.

(That's me trying to be intersectional here. You've written yourself this is not only about Black people.)
