Reminder that you can criticize bad people by just pointing out that they did something shitty and leave it at that

You extremely don't need to go on to make fun of their physical appearance, sexuality, gender identity, or imply that they are mentally ill or disabled

And in fact if you do it weakens the point you're trying to make and also alienates people who might otherwise be your ally

Like anyone, I'm prone to making mistakes from time to time, but I like to make a habit of apologising when I mess up.

Like if I were to do something offensive unintentionally.

Like if I were to perform a Nazi salute at the presidential inauguration.

It makes me think that when an explanation isn't given, the perceived action was what was intended after all.

Mastodon is financed by crowdfunding instead of venture capital not because we don't know that venture capital exists, not because we don't have bills to pay, and not because venture capital isn't willing to give money to new social media platforms. VCs don't want a sustainable business, they want a big exit. Every VC-backed business is on a timer to deliver or die.
