  • J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric and activism has enough influence to lead directly or otherwise to the further persecution and discrimination against an already marginalised minority group.

    She at some point opted for or was identified by those with similar views as the term TERF, a ‘trans-exclusionary radical feminist’ (the acronym is arguably problematic). The queer community and queer allies use the term with a implied derogatory connotation. A number of TERFs who picked up on this connotation now believe that it is an insult, and do not wish to be labelled as such (despite TERFs coining the term themseIves).




  • You are aware that defederating from an instance won’t stop individual users from that instance joining yours?

    To be honest your view on things seems far too innocent, like paradox of tolerance manifest. What you desire is something that’s fought for and fiercely defended. The rest of the internet should serve evidence for why we can’t just have nice things.

    Also did you look at the instances in question yourself?




  • I’m a huge proponent of the command line, but you often spend more time learning tools and configuring your environment than getting work done.

    I’d instead recommend you start with learning basic system administration for Linux. User management and permissions on https://linuxjourney.com/ or TLCL would be a good place to start. Of course there’s a good chance your desktop environment has ways of configuring users and permissions, too.

    Ublock origin has a very powerful URL filtering system, e.g. https://beehaw.org/c/gaming$document blocks you from accessing the gaming community on beehaw, but doesn’t stop you from accessing https://beehaw.org or other communities on the site.
