Most folks radicalized online in these recent years have virtually no knowledge of what serious state repression looks like, and that lack of preparation scares me to my bones. So here's a thread about shit cops pull:
I was just assaulted by a man who first told me to go back to my own country, at Banff National park. Please share. @BanffNP I reported it to the proper authorities and I hope something happens. But I think it would be good if it goes viral. These people don't get to win.
This is something we don't talk about a lot. If someone has spent more money than you have in MtG, their deck is going to be consistently better than yours
mastodon convo has me thinking about how generally manipulative social media is. a subscription model _could_ work, but even then the value of a network is the amount of people using it
@MallowyGoodness the best-case scenario i can see for something like that is being a cool free managed mastodon service for a while, but eventually it will need to be paid for somehow. then ads come in, and the same shit that's happening on twitter will happen to that too
