  • Honestly, I think there’s a missed opportunity for integrating information resources into ban messages and/or the global rules pages, because I guarantee more than half the people getting banned for sinophobia/xenophobia/orientalism sincerely don’t think anything they said was racist or chauvanistic - it’s often reiterating normal rhetoric and ““established facts”” in mass media; not a sign of reactionary attitude. The least we can do is give them a learning opportunity instead of simply pushing them further from the labour movement

    very true and add something like this to moderation actions as well.















  • the bigger danger is being co-opted by people & groups with more political clout, but have that shallow understanding that MLK jr. wrote about; like the dnc’s failed attempt to use project 2025 as distraction from the gazan genocide.

    it’s particularly heinous when lgbtq groups espouse cohesion, but only have token representation from the last 2 letters at best and frequently forget that the non-white & non-wealthy peers have other stressors that often supersedes their lgbtq identities at crucial moments like the election.




  • besides the head socket; this was me in 2005 as a lowly IT analyst with an entire laboratory’s worth of screens displaying glxgears 6 days per week making sure all of the workstations’ display drivers were working correctly before deploying them to the engineers. that 6th day was me coming in on a saturday or sunday to take advantage of the REALLY nice and expensive hardware to try out the few games that worked on linux at the time. lol
