Aber im Fediverse ist es sooo schlimm, weil man "belehrt" wird, dass es nicht nur Mastodon gibt. Ich kann's wirklich nicht mehr hören.

Die Leute auf Mastodon haben sich einfach gewöhnt an ihr schönes, liebes, nettes, kuscheliges, flauschiges, einheitliches Mastodon-Fediverse, das Gargron 2016 (oder 2022) als in sich geschlossenes Netzwerk erfunden haben soll. Oder sie gewöhnen sich gerade daran. Genau so wollen sie es also haben.

Erstens haben sie zuerst den Begriff "Mastodon" gelernt und müssen sich jetzt nicht nur die Mühe machen, auch "Fediverse" zu lernen, sondern dann auch noch zu lernen, daß diese Begriffe nicht gleichbedeutend sind.

Zweitens empfinden sie alles im Fediverse, was nicht Mastodon ist, als störend. Überhaupt, der Gedanke, ihr schönes flauschiges Mastodon-Fediverse mit irgendwas teilen zu müssen, was nicht das schöne flauschige Mastodon ist, ist zutiefst verstörend. Das wollen sie nicht. Das soll wieder weg. (Wobei "wieder" Quatsch ist: Friendica und Hubzilla, zwei der "schlimmsten Störenfriede", waren vor Mastodon im Fediverse.)

Na ja, und drittens empfinden sie jede Erklärung, nach der sie nicht ausdrücklich gefragt haben, als übergriffig und Fedisplaining und Reply-Guying oder gar Mansplaining. Aber buchstäblich niemand von ihnen würde je auf die Idee kommen zu hinterfragen, ob das Fediverse wirklich nur aus Mastodon besteht. Das steht für sie außer Frage, bis sie das Gegenteil erfahren.

Übrigens gilt man auf Mastodon vielfach schon als Reply-Guy, wenn man jemandem antwortet, der einen nicht vorher erwähnt hat und mit dem man auch nicht beidseitig verbunden ist. Wohlgemerkt, auf Friendica und hier auf Hubzilla, wo Konversationen völlig anders funktionieren und Kommentare völlig anders verteilt werden als auf Mastodon, ist das ein ganz normaler Vorgang.

I'm so tired of men bringing up male victims of SA as a gotcha in discussions about women.

It's so fucking gross, and when you do this you're enacting further violence on those victims you apparently care so much about.

If you ACK-TUALLY cared about those men, you'd be doing more than just wielding them as a weapon to shut down conversation you've been asked to not engage in.

Go and pour some of that energy you seem to have into work that will actually help victims of SA, and stop being an arsehole.

"Inclusion" isn't about making sure that those on the top of the hegemonic power structure keep their access to everything.

Stop weaponising sj language, you fucking toenails.

Imagine seeing a thread where a ReplyGuy mansplains the number 3 to me.

Imagine, upon seeing that, deciding to suggest I put a note on my profile to stop ReplyGuys from doing that sort of thing.

Imagine, when someone explains that a note like that wouldn't do shit, you suggest that I just block mansplainers.

Imagine being a man, inserting yourself into a thread where two people who aren't men are discussing mansplaining, just to let them know that the block function exists.

Imagine being such a fucking mansplainer that you literally have to patronise people to the extent that you mansplain mansplaining.

Imagine. Being. Such. A. Fucking. Wankstain.

Hey ReplyGuys,

Writing "Interesting.." at the start of your comment does not, in fact, make it interesting.

Especially when you're just spouting bullshit.

Me:
huh, this is a weird thing.

Men:
You're so emotional! I can't believe you're overreacting! Oh my God, calm down! You're reading so much into this! There's no need to get so worked up! WHY ARE YOU OVERREACTING??!

In today's episode of Mastodon, we ask the question:

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT A MAN WON'T -SPLAIN?

THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE!

(...if you're a man. The answer won't surprise anyone who isn't a man at all.)

(this episode brought to you by the ReplyGuy mansplaining a joke about fucking christmas decorations 😒)

Honestly, I dunno why Linux manbabies even bother to use Linux except that it gives them an opp to talk down to ppl (especially women) and pretend theyre somehow superior for...

..hn..

Using an operating system.

I mean ig if my entire personality was like, "low EQ abrasive chauvinistic IT ahole" then I'd get why they're so adamantly insufferable?

TBH with their attitude, they rly should be using Win 11 bc their intelligence is a hallucination and they love to force their way into spaces where theyre not welcome.

(And if you're a cool Linux boy, this obv isn't you okie? Dio still moderately likes u.)

for the fucking out there: Roboto has serif, sans-serif, monospace and slab. and it was one of the first fully customizable font-faces with the font-flex CSS declaration.

Noto, the fully in-house version of Roboto by Google is a fantastic sans-serif if only because it includes all world alphabets; but i prefer Roboto. am a UTF-8 gal and it’s enough for me.

seriously. i’ve tested & used thousands of fonts since the 1990s…

Imagine being a man who is so fucking entitled that you believe someone tagging a post "no men" doesn't apply to you simply because you can ride a bicycle.

RE: mstdn.ca/@atomicker/1156519064

sincere question:
since when is nuclear power a renewable energy source?

i̶ w̶a̶s̶ a̶l̶m̶o̶s̶t̶ b̶a̶m̶b̶o̶o̶z̶l̶e̶d̶ b̶y̶ t̶h̶e̶ c̶h̶a̶r̶t̶.

i̶ s̶e̶e̶ “n̶u̶c̶l̶e̶a̶r̶” h̶a̶s̶ b̶e̶e̶n̶ r̶e̶b̶r̶a̶n̶d̶e̶d̶ a̶s̶ “H̶Y̶D̶R̶O̶” a̶n̶d̶ t̶h̶a̶t̶ c̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ t̶r̶i̶p̶ a̶ l̶o̶t̶ o̶f̶ p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ i̶n̶t̶o̶ t̶h̶i̶n̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ i̶t̶ m̶e̶a̶n̶s̶ h̶y̶d̶r̶o̶e̶l̶e̶c̶t̶r̶i̶c̶ a̶s̶ o̶p̶p̶o̶s̶e̶d̶ t̶o̶ h̶y̶d̶r̶o̶g̶e̶n̶ (a̶s̶ i̶n̶ h̶y̶d̶r̶o̶g̶e̶n̶ b̶o̶m̶b̶). especially since it’s right under WIND.

so: i thought that [refuse] radioactivity was a disqualifier for any claims of renewability.

UPDATE:
FUCK and my question hasnt been answered

According to press reports, Special Operations Command/SOCSOUTH Adm Frank Bradley (Nav Seals) ordered the second strike on the first civilian boat bombed by Hegseth/Trump. The second attack was on two survivors still clinging to the sinking boat - a breach of the rules of policing and war.

This may explain why Adm Alvin Holsey, who is the actual Commander of the region SOUTHCOM is retiring after one year in the job, due to "a disagreement with Hegseth". Possibly Holsey refused to order the second strike on survivors, a war crime, and newly appointed Seal Adm Bradley instead did. Possibly Holsey was skipped because he would have refused.

This may precisely be why Hegseth is trying to convict Mark Kelly. They may both know Hegseth ordered an unlawful act that possibly one admiral refused, but another committed. It may not be theoretical, it may be an actual fact. A potentially court martialing act ordered by Seal SOCCOM Adm Frank Bradley and executed by sailors following orders. There would be witnesses. Witnesses.

I am not military, so if someone with ACTUAL expertise in US Navy command structure would like to correct my understanding of command and control, I appreciate it. #Replyguys will be publicly noted and blocked.

Something I actually love about the Fediverse—and I'm not being sarcastic at all right now, btw—is all of the unsolicited advice I get from random people who already know way more than I do about whatever incredibly niche topic.

There have been so many times I've posted something bizarrely specific, not even asking for advice, and had replies from people who'd already gone there before me, giving me their takes on what to do or not to do. One reason I not only don't mind this but, again, welcome it is because most of the advice I've been given in that context has been helpful. I say "most" and not "all," and "helpful" and not "correct," not because most of it's incorrect. Most of it's not incorrect. I say that because of me more so than anyone/anything else: not all reasonable advice applies, at least all the time, to me and whatever I'm trying to do, and again, that's usually because I'm already out on the fringe anyway. That doesn't mean the advice is bad in its own right, though, and it's usually not. It's usually still helpful, even, or perhaps especially in that case. People here are in one way or another, on average, about as fringe as I am by my own estimate, so fair enough. This is exactly what I mean when I say that I welcome any and all reasonable advice.

I'm not saying that Reply Guys don't exist, or that RTFM is always an unreasonable response; I'm saying that the Fediverse is, in my experience, particularly useful for troubleshooting whenever RTFM is impractical, either because the FM doesn't even exist or, again, may not be fully relevant if it does. The reality that rational people would be willing to pay for that kind support makes it both hilarious and amazing that random people on the Fediverse give it away for free when no one even asked for it. If you do that, and if you also identify as a guy, that still doesn't make you a Reply Guy if you're asking me; that makes you, to me, some guy who replies, and replies with something that doesn't waste everyone's time at that, which is unfortunately rare on the Internet (however ironically).

Reply Guys can be found anywhere on the Internet, not just here. The way I look at it is that the more helpful a community is, the fewer Reply Guys there are proportionally, and the more people actually reply. So the Fediverse is quite helpful according to my own logic.

Just so we're clear, I do block people who piss me me off, immediately. It's just that that doesn't happen here very often, especially as compared to the rest of the Internet I'm familiar with. If I had to ballpark it, I'd say that for every one person I block here specifically because of their interactions with me on my own posts, I become mutuals with—and this is conservative, frankly—five more, and that's not an exaggeration.

This is what I love about most of you:
most of you are unapologetically weird.

This is how it's supposed to be.
Thanks.

I've been so concerned with measuring up to certain musical standards that it never occurred to me the rest of you don't give a SHIT so actually I'm already miles ahead. 🙄

Thanks for the "encouragement," "I'm just weird and I don't care if it's good I just play what I like" etc etc Reply Guys. 🖕

This is what CLASSICAL music training gets me. "You're stupid if you care about that" responses from the peanut gallery of "I do music for fun."

It's not FUN, you morons! It's supposed to be GREAT ART! And that means BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS!!!

But you'll never understand where I'm coming from, so I give up.

Apparently I, a 51 year old queer who came up in the 90s Sydney scene and is now studying criminology through a queer crit crim lens, profess to know nothing about poppers and chemsex.

Golly, you're as smart as physician Dr Senator Roger Marshall.

What in the heck do you think Single Payer or Medicare For All or National Healthcare is? Everyone, EVERYONE, pays taxes to cover the medical care FOR ALL. Yup, the old and young pay for everyones' car accident injuries, pregnancies and births, childhood illnesses, ED treatments, contraceptive care, windsurfing accidents, cancer, heart attacks, yup, all of it. Single Payer is a much much larger covered pool with everyone *Forced* to contribute as taxes (subsidies) but with lower admin costs, no profit motive and therefore a fairer distribution of medical care services.

Are you twelve? You are classic #ReplyGuys
