@Luca Nice! I’ve been hoping a tool like this existed.

@leo I don’t think “disturbing” was an adequate CW here. Horrifying maybe? 😀

@stux I have a cat who’d probably do that. She dips her foot in her water dish and licks it off.

@SaanichGuy @BlackAzizAnansi Hopefully you mean well, but what you’re doing is part of the same problem. If you’re genuinely curious, it’s best to ask a friend. Asking a stranger — who gets this kind of challenge constantly — is too much to ask.

@SaanichGuy @BlackAzizAnansi Constantly being challenged, constantly having to justify everything you say, is part of the experience of micro aggressions. It’s mildly annoying once, it’s exhausting in aggregate.

@otyugh @skye That makes sense. I was trying to figure out what "too much sleep" is supposed to mean. But "too much sleep" as a symptom of depression is definitely something I'm conscious of.

@isaacs @cd24 @PongoTwistleton @futurebird The only thing I can think of is context: “Look at this [insult]” works differently when you can see it. Having to click through and scroll back takes more effort, and dims the outrage a little. I think there’s some truth in that, especially since Mastodon is always a little slow, but probably less than people think (assuming that’s what they’re thinking)

@RokosBasilisk @futurebird Sounds boring. Bad words are what make a lot of writing worth reading

@brewsterkahle "Over 50% of academics admit to pirating research papers" - I assume most of the remainder don't want to *admit* piracy, while the others just haven't heard of Sci-Hub

"Wikipedia’s Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust" (OA)This article is likely to create ripples, if not waves. It's one of the most detailed looks I've come across at misinformation on Wikipedia, and how community processes have failed to address a lot of concerns. And how that has impacted Holocaust history, a topic I'd hope we'd be especially careful to get right(I provided feedback on a draft a few months ago, but just skimmed the final version.)https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/25785648.2023.2168939

@Polychrome And don't forget AOL and their free coasters, I mean CDs. I think the early 00s was past their prime (You've Got Mail came out in 1998); AOL brought the mainstream online a decade before Facebook.
