One of the things I like about the fediverse, as a concrete network of real people, is that you all tend to at least recognize the actions of power. Not perfectly, and not universally. But on average, you can see the outcome of some exercise of power, and then point back to the power that produced it.

This means that things don't seem like inevitable, uncontrollable, acts of nature to you. You can imagine a different outcome than the one we got, even if you don't know how to bring it about.

And oh my god is that refreshing. It's something that I have found in zero other places.

@dagb @jenniferplusplus As a human being I was enjoying this glorious thread until that last post. Curious what qualifies you as a human ethicist?

@khleedril qualify sounds like you can pass a test in a subject. Human ethics are critical thinking about ethical matters, often contradicting. The point is that you have to think, decide, evaluate, and learn, like a continuous process. To me, it is what makes me me, and no external, out of context, rules other than human rights.
