@hakfoo @futurebird @lnlyisol The issue isn’t that they made it available, the issue is we didn’t formally teach people to use it because it was seen as a rich person’s toy, then a way of gatekeeping (to the wealthy and to the potential future servants of the wealthy) for so long it hit critical mass without education in place and sold out to ad companies.
That’s when they started disregarding Boolean and really nerfed it for everyone at once.
@ContraindiKate @futurebird @skynebula End stage consumerism, maybe?
@ContraindiKate @futurebird @skynebula I’m beginning to wonder if on some level it’s not just avoiding the work of humanizing others, but the peril of humanizing themselves, from a fearful equivalence of negotiation with malicious manipulation; wanting to socially exist as an inscrutable black box to which desiderata flow, but without leaking any vulnerable information as to why (let alone reciprocal obligations.)
@futurebird It was very annoying in the amphibian community because some toads have similar skin colors to humans and my toadposts kept getting removed with “warnings” about my adult content submissions.
Sir. Sir it does not even have external reproductive organs.
@futurebird She’s so cute!
