Good morning! A post just rolled across my fedi-timeline saying not to post about politics on Mastodon, so I'm here to remind you that:
1 "politics" refers to decision-making about how to live together in groups
2 choosing to not participate in political discussion is saying you support the status quo, and is a political stance
3 abstaining from politics because you feel safe from its impacts is a privilege and a choice to abandon your more vulnerable neighbours
When an antisemitic terrorist plot is foiled on the same day as an anti-trans terrorist attack, let's be very clear that the United States has already reached a tipping point with deep historical resonance
And may the Colorado victims rest in peace
Anyway
This sounds like snark but it's not
If you're on mastodon dot social or dot online
Leave that instance and get on a better one
They are de facto unmoderated instances due to their sheer size and many many instances have them limited
So for example, if someone from m dot s replies to this, I won't see it
Ever!
