First the queers and furries build a space where they can be themselves.

Then the infosec folks find that it fits well with their values.

Then the communists flock to the first real alternative to capitalist monopoly on shortform burst communication.

Then the artists come to find new walls to paint and nobody to tell them no.

The intellectuals, the chroniclers, the priests and the prophets, singly and in droves.

Slowly, it builds. It's neat to build an oral history from inception. #mastodon

@mykola then the techbros comes and yell at all of the above because how dare they speak about systemic injustice instead of code. who cares about race. who cares about diversity. open source is the most important and developers are the most important.

part 2 of your oral history for you, taking place over this past weekend, possibly continuing.

@creatrixtiara What I like about this place is that, as an instance admin, I can block them *and they cease to exist in my universe*. That's pretty neat. :)

@mykola that doesn't help when the people you're trying to avoid find you on other instances and bypass your blocks to continue to harass you.

and then tells the people they're in charge of that you're here now.

@creatrixtiara oh god, I'm sorry that's happening to you. This shit is why I think I believe in shared blocklists and organized boundaries. Humans just suck.
