Mastodawn

A bunch of long time mastodonians are suggesting that newcomers take the time to learn the rules, to recognize what is and is not "courteous" where the tools of the site are concerned. That's fine, and I agree.

However, I also want to make clear that you have every right to insist on being your whole, complete self in this new space. Insist on it and keep insisting on it until whomever says otherwise relents.

That worked out just fine for the Native Americans, didn't it. First, they died from the colonists' diseases. Then they died in deportation and wars. And today, the US Americans believe they "are" the greatest country in the world... lol.
Because they let Zuck and Musk run wild and mess with people's character traits? Those who had abstained from those viruses should now be overrun by the sick...congratulations. You just proved how arrogant and lethal colonialism is. And how you personally disqualify from having a say in anything.
