The Revolution Will Not Make the Hacker News Front Page

(with apologies to Gil Scott-Heron) If you get all of your important technology news from "content aggregators" like Hacker News, Lobste.rs, and most subreddits, you might be totally unaware of the important but boring infrastructure work happening largely on the Fediverse, indie web, and other less-centralized communities. This is no accident. The rough consensus of these spaces has been strongly in favor of the…

Haha, someone tried to be funny and submitted it to Hacker News.

Too bad it won't work. I'm pretty sure my blog's domain is shadowbanned. ;P

@soatok What's a furry? Is it like a sexual orientation?

@oneloop No

@soatok What is it then? You think you're a cat, or you want to be a cat, or you like pretending that you're a cat, or something else?

@oneloop You know how to look things up on Wikipedia, yes?

@soatok I have several times, but I don't get it. "it's a subculture" Yes of course it's a subculture, but what are its defining features? Is it like goths, where they dress black because that's their subculture, and their subculture is dressing black, in a logical loop?

@soatok Is it like that you're embarrassed of who you are? Come to think of it, that's true for goths too. Maybe furries are like goths.

@soatok Are furries a protected category? Like, if I make fun of a furry is that a hate crime? That's not the case for goths, so I'm guessing also no?

@soatok Is being a furry a choice? Were you born a furry and one day became aware of it, or did you learn about it and started getting into it? My guess would be the latter (again, like goths).

@oneloop You really like typing things out to yourself, don't you?

Why don't you keep doing that, but leave me untagged?
