Linus Torvalds, in his way, defends trans rights and speaks out against the anti-woke politics.

(Trigger warning: This server does not appear to fediblock very much, so there is some nasty stuff on it.)

@ernie Which part gets uglier than the hatred they say they are against?

@ernie

Why would you recommend anyone, in reality, not "scroll down too far" (commas are your friend, get to know them).

You may not get how gross that is, but it is gross.

Catholic priests tell their rape victims not to do things. Under the immoral guise of protecting them.

Don't put words out in the world, that you have to warn anyone about. That's sick.

@putnamca I was just trying to warn people that Linus’ server isn’t blocking very much stuff. All I was trying to do. Instead of attacking me, consider it was my feeble attempt to put a trigger warning in front of people.

It is very easy to not be an jerk on here. Try it sometime.

@putnamca Unlike other services, that server does not allow me to link to the exact post, so I had to link the full thread. That thread had awful stuff in it, and that server apparently has chosen not to fediblock very many things.

I wanted to link the very positive thing Linus said, but acknowledge I was indirectly linking to something that was not very good.

That’s all. Period.

@ernie Fair. Was not an an attack, just asking for clarification. Thanks.

@putnamca I tweaked the wording to be more obvious.

Generally: One of my least favorite things about a thread going viral on Twitter is someone misreading the original post or finding fault in it long after the fact. At least I can edit a thread like that on here.

@ernie My language was hyperbolic, and I apologize.
@ernie Thank you. Emotions are high, and you aren't my enemy.
