At the #CoSocial AGM there was some discussion about @kissane and @darius's recent governance report.

So of course I thought ๐Ÿ‚ fall reading group ๐Ÿ‚ to read it and chat about improvements for our coop, poll and details for members here: members.cosocial.ca/t/reading-โ€ฆ

If people outside CoSocial also want to join you are more than welcome! Just reply here! (Though fair warning I'm going to bring the discussion back to our coop)


Reading group for the "Governance on Fediverse Microblogging Servers" Report

This report came up in conversation at our AGM, I think there is value in reviewing the findings and seeing whether there are considerations and improvements for CoSocial we should consider.

screencap of david@tech.lgbt's profile with "they/them agender" circled in red
Secret Right Wing Cult Leader @are0h@h-i.social And for the people coming at me about Davidโ€™s pronouns, let me be clear. I donโ€™t give a flying fuck about how a racist that has enabled waves have hate and abuse against me and mine on an ongoing basis identifies. I am under no obligation to respect the humanity of someone who has caused so much harm to people who look like me. Feel free to unfollow me if you believe hateful abusive people should be treated with the respect they donโ€™t have never shown me. Because that is some sick shit.
Secret Right Wing Cult Leader @are0h@h-i.social And yes, Iโ€™m blocking everyone who has a problem with my stance on respecting the identity of a serial abuser and harasser. If you have more to say to me than the unhinged bigot who brought up my name for no reason to attack another Black-led instance for no reason, youโ€™re just telling me anti-Blackness is ok while us defending ourselves from more baseless attacks isnโ€™t. I have zero interest in trying to reason with people that will straight-up ignore people attacking us for no got damn reason. Fuck you and your fake ass morals that only come out to protect hateful people. Yall are the reason bigots feel so comfortable spreading their lunacy in this place. And the reason #TheBadSpace exists.
Secret Right Wing Cult Leader @are0h@h-i.social White people are on here getting UPSET with me because I donโ€™t respect the identity of a person that cursed my name and didnโ€™t even have the respect to say it to my fucking face while he plays respectable and nice in the open. This motherfucker has been lying about me for almost a year straight, saying whatever racist shit comes to mind, but suddenly Iโ€™m the problem because I respond because Iโ€™m tired of his shit. White people on here are insane, man. They will literally look you dead in your face and say you are wrong when we defend ourselves from unprovoked attacks. Dr. MLK Jr. was right about white moderates. Aug 13, 2024, 06:20 PM Secret Right Wing Cult Leader @are0h Iโ€™m not apologizing for defending my space and calling out hate where I see it, especially from known sources. Iโ€™m not gonna play respectability politics because you need the handful of Black folks you follow to mimic a civiliy at all costs attitude while being harassed on here out of the blue. If protecting the identity of a known bigot is more important to you than trying to stop the targeted harm and harassment that is caused in their name, then so be it. But Iโ€™m trying to negotiate with someone who comes at me with a knife. If youโ€™re willing to have bigots continuously slap you in your face because you want to be a โ€˜good person,โ€™ you do you. But that aint me. And it wonโ€™t ever be.

Gorgeous Killer (@are0h@h-i.social)

Anyway, if you think Iโ€™m a hateful person because I wonโ€™t respect the identity of someone who has unrepentantly enabled constant harm against me and my people, Iโ€™m fine with that.

also

even if you don't wanna open the other person's instance to check their pronouns. like you just cannot bear to bring yourself to

you should be defaulting to they/them for people whose pronouns you don't know anyway

ignorance is no excuse

I have to disagree specifically about defaulting to they/them. Just don't refer to a person by pronouns and use that person's full name. Otherwise it's still misgendering unless that person is okay with they/them pronouns

Latest comic: Don't take the bait

#uspol #election #cartoon #politics #election2024

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT JD Vance admitted to "creating stories" to drive news coverage. Vance: Outrageously inflammatory lie to get everyone talking about our favorite "issue" which is actually just a bigger pile of dangerous lies. How to respond without feeding into their ploy? 1. Ask: what kind of creep would demonize innocent people as a campaign strategy? Vance in front of school with sign saying SCHOOL CLOSED DUE TO THREATS: How disgusting to suggest we had anything to do with this. 2. Also ask: Why do their tech billionaire backers seem OK with tearing the nation apart? Shadowy figure pressing buttons on the Vance-o-matic control panel: It's definitely not so we can take over the government and play god with infinite wealth and power. 3. Every time they bring up the "story," mention something real that IS harming Americans. "At least two women in Georgia died after they couldn't access legal abortions and timely medical care" -- ProPublica Trump in debate with Kamala Harris: Everybody wanted this! Harris gives him skeptical look

This is wishful thinking but imagine what would happen if Valve offered developers and publishers a discount from Steam's 30% take if they agreed to officially support Steak Deck and Proton.

Then replace the "Steam Deck Verified" status with "Steam Deck Supported".
