• autistic, not “on the spectrum” — spare me your euphemisms
• white and trying to not to let that become anyone else's problem
• related: **please call me in/out as appropriate**
• when someone nonwhite tells you you're fucking up, /listen/
• when someone disabled tells you you're fucking up, /listen/
• I don't know what landback would look like, but my lack of imagination shouldn't stand in the way
• you can just be trans, you don't need to take hormones

@evan @Unixbigot while it does achieve that, there are certain topics which I do post with hashtags under the expectation that any boosts are being done by individuals, and I was recently surprised to discover that Tagpush had boosted one.

the fragmented ephemerality of fedi is actually something I value greatly. not everyone needs access to everything. not everyone deserves access to everyone. 

and honestly, the way that every one of these "discoverability" machines end up getting built on an opt-out basis — a basis, by the way, which guarantees that the majority of individuals' first interaction with it will be an unwelcome surprise — demonstrates the degree to which consent is considered during the design phase. 

the emergence of instances like tags.pub and Tagpush, which I have no control over my instance's federation with, are making me seriously consider migrating to a single user instance. and all that, solely to be confident that the things I post are being shown to a group which I can at least conceive of in some abstract sense. 

I know you're not about to change your mind after building that instance. that's fine; be proud of your thing. but I think your choice to opt the entire fedi into an algorithmic distribution machine (because that's what it is, even if it's not doing sentiment analysis or relevance ranking) without so much as asking nicely was… well, frankly, a bit rude.
