You’re just repeating the meme.

They are all bad, they are all part of the problems we face globally, and whatabouting “them” to avoid facing criticism of “us” only serves those in power by deflecting criticism of them.

I knew there was a good laugh to be had whatever their reply, but thanks for amplifying it. Literally textbook. 🤣

I’m not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I’ve not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they’d have is that you don’t reply.

From what I understand it’s actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like abusive content containing children.

I hate to waste any more time on you, but also I could use a good laugh - please, enlighten us, who is it you are so empathetic towards in this post? 🤔

You got all that from three words

Lmfao, yeah pretty much… You’re not as complex or special as you like to think you are, just another generic clown… 😂

And you sound like a bigot who feels personally attacked and is getting defensive… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, that prospect would get me excited too lol

They’re welcome to scream in to the void until they’re blue in the face, I won’t be listening 😂

On the only hand that matters - ableists get blocked and reported.

I don’t know, don’t think it matters, just substitute delete for block and it works… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes! 💜

So accurate, though I dare say they’re even more pathetic - "I was hateful and abusive to you, but you spoke up and demanded I stop, which hurt my feelings, that’s why I voted for Hitler. It’s your fault.”

Because the only people drifting further in to bigotry “because” those they’re bigoted against stand up for themselves, were already bigots to begin with. They’re just critically aware (though they’ll never admit it) of just how much privilege they actually have, and find the idea of having that challenged, never mind being equal and equitable to everyone else, completely unacceptable and even repulsive, but mostly terrifying (because the only way they can fathom it going is that they will be treated under feminism the same way they treat us under the patriarchy) and they will invest everything they have in to maintaining the oppressive structures that serve them.

We’re all rooting for you!

“raging feminism” often actually causes increased misogyny

Are you fucking high?!

Unless you can ask a straight man how many guys he’s slept with, it isn’t gender neutral, no matter how resistant to this fact you are.

E: the fact that neither of you give a shit about the people telling you the term isn’t gender neutral, doesn’t apply to us, and that we don’t feel comfortable with you using it to speak to or about us says it all. No matter how much mental gymnastics you do to convince yourself otherwise you are the ones choosing to be the problem instead of actually listening to others and showing some basic respect. It’s an easy fix, too - all you have to do is give a minimal fuck about others.

Hey…

Folks

Friends

Comrades

Everyone

People

Pals

You motley crew

Weirdos

Siblings

Fuckers

…how you doing, wanna go to the movies?

(this is by no means exhaustive list, the point is there are plenty of existing and perfectly acceptable alternatives, pick one, or more, and get comfortable with it)

The literal meaning isn’t gender neutral, but in actual practice, it 100% is.

Housing is a human right, not a commodity. 👍

Not American, nor is this post specific to America or Americans in any way.

Sure, that too… Provide housing? Why not!
