strong but reasonable response from call of duty this pride season.

this is what corporate allyship looks like

@elizabethveldon
Corporations just do this as a marketing strategy. They do not give a shit about anyone's rights, they'll support whatever thing is currently profitable to support.

@dushman i meant the post as a joke, the idea not that a skin was removed but that his actual skin was removed.

i completely agree with you

@elizabethveldon @[email protected] We should never trust the corporations. That they behave this way is a sign that it is unprofitable for them to do otherwise, which is a good thing. What we must fear is when it becomes profitable for them to through us under the bus, because that a sign society is moving in the wrong direction. And right now that is happening in some places.
@toni @dushman yup, they will only care if it makes them money to do so
@elizabethveldon @[email protected] The skinning the homophobe joke was very funny though and all the seriousness asside, I don't think we should lose sight of that.
@toni @dushman i'm not saying we should flay homophobes but i'm not saying we shouldn't.
@elizabethveldon @[email protected] Just so you can see what this looks like in Calckey, in all its glory...
@toni @dushman yea but would i loose my posting history if i moved?
@elizabethveldon @[email protected] I think Calckey can now import your posting history. It didn't when I did it, so I'd have to check if anyone has done that successfully.
@elizabethveldon @toni
Some fedi backends support moving of posts but it's very hit or miss
@elizabethveldon @toni
Same thing goes for moving your followers
@elizabethveldon @toni
Though at least moving followers usually works okay for the most part. Just depends on whether or not your followers automatically follow accounts after a move.
@elizabethveldon @toni
I've never moved any posts myself though. I run pleroma on my instance here and it doesn't even support that.
@elizabethveldon @toni
Pleroma supports backing up your post history but not migrating it.
@dushman @toni been thinking of moving after @toni spoke to me about this but i'm also a fan of a 'no fuss' lifestyle so...
@elizabethveldon @toni
At the very least moving your follows and followers should work smoothly.
@elizabethveldon @toni
Though if you follow accounts from instances that no longer exist that can cause issues.
@elizabethveldon @[email protected] Before you consider migrating, first check out the site you are considering by creating a test account to see if you like it enough. That way you know whether the 'fuss' is worth it or not.
@[email protected] @elizabethveldon My follower import was very smooth when I left mastodon.lol and joined blahaj.zone, as was my following list. It was also very quick and painless. You can run into issues if any of your followers/followings are on an instance your new instance has blocked. Some users might need to approve your new follow if they aren't open.
