@jackerhack the network effects of the bird site are just too strong. Sigh.
Personal and public events in the past month have reinforced the opinion that the police is little more than armed militia serving the dominant groups of society. If you belong to dominant communities/castes and have access to networks of power, the police exist to serve and protect you. If you don't belong to such backgrounds, the police exists to serve and protect the perpetrators who committed crimes against you.
KTomrw Judgment on CJI office should come under RTI. My Prediction:
CJI office will not come under RTI. For length, copy few paras from NJAC judgment, few paras frm master of roster case & then somehow make it all about independence of judiciary being heart and liver of democracy
Kiran Jonnalagadda#introduction #india I'm a computer programmer, community organiser and digital rights activist based in Bangalore, India.
Growing up as a lonely, bullied kid in the 90s, I found solace in books, computers, and later, the online world. In my quest to find belonging, never quite fulfilled, I've been involved with various communities over the years. A biography in toots:

Pleased to announce that the Council has opted to amend our Code of Conduct to add casteism and the advocation thereof to our list of bannable offenses. I'll update shortly.
A reminder: we apply our CoC to our own members and anybody who engages with Cryptids. What this means is that if any account or instance permits or encourages what we consider to be a violation of our CoC, we suspend or take similar action.
Naresh@[email protected] @citrustwee Hello! A great place to start is a paper called Castes in India:Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development, by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. You can find it here:

Also, the resources in this Drive are more than enough to get acquainted with it:

I'll try putting together a list of resources and materials w.r.t to this. Also, do follow @h_tejas :)
So the mastodon.social instance has already added casteism and advocation of casteism as offenses in their community guidelines. Mastodon could actually become an inclusive online safe space for people couldn't it?
By a show of trunks, who thought those could actually exist?
Eugen RochkoAs promised, mastodon.social code of conduct has been updated to add "casteism and advocation of casteism" to the list of explicitly prohibited offenses
