I should also do an #introduction post.
Hi. My name is Orion, and I'm a queer polyam enby transmasc ND POC (I know, that's a lot x.x) Philly native living in Rhode Island with my husband and our brat of a cat.
I love Sailor Moon, Fiber Arts, FFXIV, Seanan McGuire books and my partners.
ACAB, Transwomen are women and Transmen are men, fuck TERFS and Nazis of all stripes.
I'm a writer, a furry digital artist, and a gposer on FFXIV. I love academic discussion, so bring it. <3
I've been neglecting my Mastodon but Twitter is finally broken and so here I am!
The reason I even went to Twitter this time was to show off a kerchief I made for myself with my handspun.
The body is woven and I crocheted the straps on. I'm thinking of crocheting a simple scalloped lace edge on too but we'll see, what do y'all think?
And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward
Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai
What would happen?
Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.
Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.
The analogy that several Black users have said, is "Mastodon is the digital equivalent of fleeing 'regular' racism in the deep South, just to experience 'racism doesn't happen here!' racism in Boston." 🙂🙃
Mastodon has more cultural norms around not talking about racist abuse, than around preventing it from happening. I don't know how to convince y'all that this is bad.
So yeah, this creates an opening for centralizers.
