A recent interaction on the fediverse:
"This term makes no sense to me. Does anyone know the history and why it is used? Don't explain why you think it makes sense"
Me: "This is the history. Its common and established usage across many fields. Why don't you think it makes sense?"
"I mean it when I said don't explain why you think it makes sense"
So I told them that I answered their question, but had no time for miserable cunts, and blocked and eradicated all trace of them from my own server's database, because I can do that.
Fucksake though. Some of the stereotypes here are true.
Do fucking better.

in reply to Sarah Brown • •@Alex Holst I think what irked me the most here is that the person in question was actively soliciting responses, and then just being a random wanker when given them.
Which, frankly, just struck me as really rude.

Still, thanks for contributing to my fediverse signal/noise ratio project. This is almost as useful as shooting orcas in a barrel. Bye now.

in reply to Sarah Brown • •The thing about the reputation that the Fediverse has for being full of "people like that" is that if you comment on it, they turn up.
Even when it's brutally obvious you're going to server block them for it. They can't seem to help themselves.
This is one of the nicest features here: with minimal effort, the tedious takes itself out.

"There are legitimate ways to conceptualise power dynamics which do not centre whatever US-specific racial category Americans have decided you belong to"
As Tom Lehrer said, they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide...

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •Reminds me of an old explanation of the term “trolling” as in “trolling for fish” but “trolling for newbies”.
I hope you get a bountiful catch and a full blocklist!
