at minimum, y'all need to be posting from here to forever about how the Linux Foundation enables abusers, and has done so for decades, and how the recently-released Code of Conduct is a bullshit DISINGENUOUS face-saving attempt by said abusers.

YEARS of rampant, unchecked abuse of women. YEARS of being called out for it, and lashing out in response.

TONS of receipts. that you can just, like, go look at on the public mailing list.

AND his absurd tiny message that got tons of press was WEAKSAUCE that he specifically put out to lessen the impact of some very simple journalistic investigation into his bullshit.

COME ON y'all.

So, men of tech: you've now learned that Linus didn't "apologize" and didn't "finally adopt a Code of Conduct" at all. Right? You all see what happened here, yes?

You're going to be more careful about patting abusers on the back in the future, yes?

Ok so let me get this straight: jackasses are getting useless RFIDs and magnets implanted in their skin but a trans girl can't just call up a biohacker on the dark web and get an estradiol implant?

like, this has been studied:

Men in US society are being radicalized at an *alarming* rate. It's terrifying and I don't know what to do about it.

all men everywhere: HALP I CANNOT USE MY EMAILS

ReCaptcha, but instead of marking street signs you have to identify basic-as-fuck misogyny

Swear to god trying to talk to men in an open source project is like interacting with a pile of rocks.

Shut it the fuck down.

Hey so like, I'm the only person helping @Laurelai out on Github while assholes sign up explicitly to abuse her (and naturally Github has no mechanism to report this behaviour)

Maybe someone else could help out a bit so I could like, not stay constantly on this?

and it's still always missing the point that what victims are asking for isn't to just *not see* the abusive people. They want to *affect their reach* and prevent further abuse. Anytime moderation tools lean too close to actually facilitating that goal, people (mostly men) go wild with trying to shut it down.

Every time someone proposes a moderation tool it's like, required that someone show up with the "But what if this somehow causes you to not see someone's thoughts and those thoughts might be something you might have wanted to see!!!!"

which... is.... really not understanding how internet abuse works, how severe and distressing and exhausting it is... it's also really patronizing. Victims *KNOW* this is a likely outcome and *ITS OKAY* because the torrents of abuse *ARE WORSE*.

I actually despise days that are publicly marked as "suicide prevention" because every fucking person who doesn't ever give a fucking shit about MH shows up on FB with their bullshit "allyship" or whatever the fuck and it's just fucking gross.

@brainblasted that's so weird cause I'm laurelai

I'd rather fuck a colony of quaking aspen

@June I'd seriously rather fuck a fungus

What's the sexuality flag for "literally any sentient organism except cis male humans"

I live for old white men politicians being made uncomfortable by women.

"No Nazis" is actually not a slippery slope thanks for coming to my TED talk
