Birdsite has become completely toxic again. The trend I find incredible is they're ok with #metoo accused, the insufferable Anu Malik , being on Indian Idol but are asking for @VishalDadlani 's scalp because he criticised Gogoi.
@SanSip There's a shorter word for "being manipulated into disgust" etc no? It's called trolling.
amitangshu"Mastodon doesn’t have a celebrity culture. But I see that more as a feature than a bug. Worship of celebrities in a way makes our social media relationship unhealthy." Excerpt from an interview with Mastodon’s German founder Eugen Rochko. https://www.livemint.com/companies/people/mastodon-looking-for-moderators-speaking-tamil-bengali-says-founder-11573583306193.html
SwatiGood people of Mastodon, I've been seeing a number of posts here that compare the Ayodhya judgment to a husband losing his wife to another man, treatment of rape victims etc. This is quite worrisome.
Women aren't property that one can win/lose claim over. Such comparisons reinforce the idea of ownership over women as passive objects. I have high hopes from this space and how we talk about women here.
So please do continue with the much-needed criticism, but please keep women out of it.

A lot of people just think of Left as Communists or Socialist which is not true either.
The term Left Liberal just means the political orientation seeking change towards freedom and equality focusing on social justice.
It's opposite is Right Conservatism which is the political orientation opposing change towards freedom (more authoritarian) and inclined towards conservatism and justification of inequality as a natural state of affairs.
Danish Khan :verified:Two days have passed since the #AYODHYAVERDICT came out against the Muslim community, not a single incident of riots, arsoning or vandalism reported from any corner of the country.
This makes it very clear that only one group do rioting and killing when things goes against them.

@ajithags good to see you here!
KermodeI wonder if the people joining Mastodon from India also have an appetite for ditching more of the capitalist internet, because there are replacements for many more things than just twitter.
For example, no need to use google maps when you can add detail of even things like footpaths in your town to OpenStreetMap :
