Kinda like you’re doing

I’m not going to dance around words because you want to protect the sensibilities of a bigot.


I’m not “meh” about denouncing bigots. If you’ve supported a bigot and you don’t actively and vocally walk it back, that’s not “meh”. That’s a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots


I’m not in the habit of assuming companies that knowingly supported bigots, the benefit of the doubt. If there isn’t a clear, loud and non ambiguous walking back of their clear, loud and unambiguous support, then why would you, I or anyone else assume they have done so?


Same guy, but no, I was referring to Omarchy and DHH himself.


Care to support the transphobes angle with evidence? Or does it work like an honorary title?
Interesting that you chose to be passive aggressive and get your back up at the the idea that he’s transphobic, rather than simply asking for evidence…
In any case, he did an article on his blog celebrating Abigail Shrier and her transphobic Irreversible Damage book. I’m not going to link to his blog, but if you want to find it, it was posted in March 2024


I’d be happy to if I could find any evidence it were true.


We are openly supportive of DIY. Ask whatever you need!


They support and fund DHH


Yay, yet another tech company funding racists and transphobes is doing well :/

The difference is, phone companies and card providers between them can more easily lock down and restrict who has access to NFC compatible apps. There are no rogue payment apps popping up to challenge the status quo.
So they see more use in richer countries
You’re more likely to alienate people who could have been allies than achieve anything of merit
Someone who thinks giving up Rowling is too big an ask was never an ally in any way that actually means anything…
Basically no. At least not at the time you wrote your comment. Community ownership changed a couple of hours after your post though!


Headline: Exactly 49 days
First sentence of article: 49 days, 17 hours and change


CachyOS does the same


To be clear, the blahaj one is for people to talk about the awful shit she’s doing and the impact it’s having on her victims. It’s not a community for people who support her or just want to have polite conversation about her that ignores the harm she is doing


What’s interesting about this, is you post it as if it’s a question, and despite getting an almost universal “Fuck no” as the answer to the question, you’re just arguing that we should do it.
If you want to do it, do it. But stop looking for validation for it. You’re asking for approval to celebrate and recognise someone who actively targets and harms trans people. You’re not going to get that approval. So either take that as the answer, or stop pretending it was ever a question.


Plus, it would help to bring in a ton of new users, to the Fediverse.
Yay, more folks who are happy to fund the erasure of trans people. Can’t wait! /s
