@rose_alibi I notice some are from instances I blocked here, I guess known troublemakers... that might be part of it I guess. That's terrible they had to deal with that though... Reminds me to check those annoying reply folks and make sure their instances are all blocked here!!

@rose_alibi @ai6yr It’s like seeing Sasquatch—I’ve heard about guys like this, but to see them come out of hiding in great numbers, as if drawn to something. Remarkable.

@ColesStreetPothole @rose_alibi It's so strange this one post has attracted all of them. I did check and I had defederated at least a couple of the source instances, so that might be the reason... kind of like someone leaving a big window open and letting all the mosquitos in the house.

@ai6yr @rose_alibi A woman posting something about tech I guess just brings them out.

@rose_alibi @inquiline it's a shame the one about slavery isn't showing up - I read it 4 times and it still broke my brain

@[email protected] How far back do you have to go, to find a time when many people would have agreed that slavery fell in the category of "family and community relationships", and was even among the most important? Technological innovation disrupted that, by separating the processing of chemical energy into mechanical work from the human body. I for one have no desire to go back. #atomicpowertothepeople

With generalizations like that, I wonder what the dude thinks of Fritz Haber, but not enough to ask.

“Publius” 😆
