A thread for the fediverse clergy.
1/
Let’s be clear.
Woke is not Left.
Woke is not Resistance.
Woke is the latest software update of moral imperialism.
It swapped cowboy hats for pronouns and thinks that counts as revolution.
It doesn't fight power.
It aesthetically rebrands it.
It turns class into optics, struggle into hashtags, and solidarity into curated bios.
The Left builds from material conditions.
Woke builds from vibes and verification ticks.

Excellently put @thomasknoll as different apps on the #Fediverse uses different terms for what #Mastodon calls “content warning”, in essence they are content wrappers. I believe Mastodon’s design model and it’s media strategy needs a careful and thorough academic analysis which as yet I haven’t seen. Some early papers such as quote posts are coming out (thanks to @hildabast ) but this is a space that needs careful consideration.
