Apparently it's more acceptable to be a rapist than to be a YIMBY in SF "progressive" circles 🙄 https://sfstandard.com/housing-development/todco-affordable-housing-nonprofit-jon-jacobo-rape-accusation/

@allaboutgeorge It seems to be the old timers who’ve been around since Twitter imploded, and it’s common on my local feed as well. It feels like the typical nerd early adopter elitism, which is really digital hipsterism when you think about it.

And thanks, I keep meaning to be around more, but I haven’t really had the time to be around anything that’s not already part of my routine. Change is too exhausting when I’m busy.

@kingrat Well I am a journalist so I'm gonna follow my people, but it's also pretty common on the sfba local timeline.

@Illdisposed Lashing out with insults when faced with any criticism is even worse than most of the site's content being about the site itself, so congrats on that I guess. You're doing good work keeping people out of your little clubhouse or whatever.

I've been here less and less because, still, months after its popularity shot up, a significant percentage of Mastodon content is about how great Mastodon is. Like... I don't care. It's like ads for the movie theater before the movie. I'm already in the room, don't tell me why I should come in the room, show me why I should stay.

One of the most transformative mindset adjustments I've experienced: to stop focusing on perceived infractions of rules of a game we've been handed, and start focusing on who handed us the game, who enforces the playing of it, and what has been taken from us all while we play.

Ok people, long shot personal request. Does anyone have a room to rent in Oakland, ideally by Lake Merritt or downtown/uptown? My girlfriend is looking for a room and, taste in men aside, she’s pretty cool.

I'd dislike Kansas City's football team less if they changed their name to the Kansas City Football Monarchs.
