@noellabo 「いいね」を選んだけど、本当は「まだちょっと疑問がある」とつけたい。英語が母国語で、白人の私にとって楽しいけど、黒人や少数派の方々が違う経験をしている声をいっぱい聞いてます。その問題を解決しない限り、楽しい環境とは言えない。

@davekarpf @ChrisWere Do you have to switch to it manually every time? That’s the current situation for me.

@lauren Yes. The human side of the uncanny valley is definitely a thing. I have the same problem with Lillian Gish.

@rlux agreed. automatic notification when relationships are severed by a defederation is a critical feature and i hope it's implemented soon.

@mekkaokereke @InayaShujaat @Kay I love that framing. Changing is appropriate to fix misunderstandings, but not fundamental disagreement. If you’re true to your own ethics, it is good to be both liked *and disliked* for accurate reasons. I’m socialized as a white woman, so the “please like me” and “everybody should get along” training is deep and strong. This is such a helpful metric to counteract that.

#mosstodon #iceland Southern Iceland is home to one of the most surreal landscapes I’ve ever seen. Nothing but moss as far as the eye could see. We got close to the ground and looked carefully, but didn’t see a single insect even when we gently rolled a small rock to peek underneath.

@Wolven @KimCrayton1 Yes. Things are expensive based on where you're short on supply. For rich people, short on time, getting out of inconvenience with money is cheap. If you're already at capacity, being kind to people who are making that difficult is prohibitively expensive.

@mekkaokereke I just had someone send me this Times article in support of this viewpoint. It's really distressing to me watching ostensibly "liberal" publications like the Times and the Atlantic launder this garbage into the mainstream. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/us/ucla-dei-statement.html
