Advice for community managers:

Use the Olivia Hill rule.

It's surprisingly easy to enforce:

Fascists get really upset and will talk to you about why the rule is bad.

You then ban them.

That's it, that's all the work it takes!

This cartoon by Naked Pastor is ... excellent. This is what happens when you start gatekeeping womanhood (spoiler - it’s 💯 the opposite of feminism)

@mattblaze There is a big divide on social media between the people who have a folder full of screenshots labeled "Death Threats (personal)" and people who do not.

Unsolicited advice to “just block and move on”, no matter how well intentioned, is not helpful or actionable for someone who’s the target of organized or persistent harassment. It’s ultimately just a dismissal, “shut up about your problems” couched in slightly more polite language.

Nobody, nobody, nobody comes out until they are absolutely certain about it. Usually that is after years of agonising (not "questioning") over it.

The people we are closest to are often the last to know, because that is where rejection is most costly.

Nobody relishes the thought of being dismissed as mentally ill, or losing people who are very dear.

So if you’re in Europe (or going to be), there’s a ticket lottery (for the open space days), which (i think) means apply *and* tell everyone, and be thrilled for everyone who gets to go :)

An orientation to collaborative co-creation of the experience runs through it. Yes, there may still be talks, and clinics and workshops, and craft of the fiber variety, or digital — it depends on who is there and what they offer…

The main thing is that it really is a space to recharge the hope and “energy for what we do” batteries, while learning! Being with folk who care about the people of our field, and how we approach what we do.

"Viewpoint diversity," is just their way of saying, "Let the nazis talk!🤡" It's silly and I don't have time to pretend that it's not.

But when people complain about the left not "being unified" and "always disagreeing with each other?" That's real viewpoint diversity. That's supposed to happen.

How silly this all is:
You can't say "viewpoint diversity" without saying the word "diversity." Which these weirdos banned, remember? "Diversity" is on the list of forbidden words!🤡

Y'all might have the time and the patience to pretend that these far-right losers are acting in good faith. I don't.
