Just yesterday I had an interaction on Mastodon.social that gave me pause and made me question using even the Fediverse.
Someone posted about KOSA legislation coming to “protect children” from trans people like myself.
Somebody got in the conversation and had a link to an organization that actually uses the terminology “map” to refer to the people who are more properly called pedophiles.
I shut that shit down, deleted my comment, and am seriously considering deleting all of my Fediverse accounts.
Like, I’m not here to make friends, but I am not opposed to it either.
I am here to be informed, entertained, maybe sometimes outraged a little.
To continue the previous comment, I want absolutely no association with people that like to play games with terminology like this.
I don’t want any connection with a person that would be okay with sexualizing children, or changing names of the evil people who do it under the guise of being tolerant or pc or some shit.
I don’t want any loli garbage, hentai, nazis, etc.
And that the Fediverse seems to not have any content moderation ( am I wrong/missing something?) makes me want to give up on it.
Today I posted a picture of a stamp with an animal in it and they said the picture contained nudity and made me take it down, but I reported a photo of a guy with a fully visible swastika tattoo and they said that’s fine....
I worry about this on fediverse stuff. I made the mistake of looking at the links from a person who commented on anti trans legislation and let me just say yikes!
The link was to something trying to legitimize the identity of “map.”
NOPE.
I deleted my comments and blocked the sick bastard.
Using a 2014 Mac Mini booting to an external ssd, with only 4gb of ram, and an early 2015 13’ MacBook Pro with 8 gb of ram, going to upgrade the storage to 1tb and install a new battery.
Both given to me via my neighborhoods Buy Nothing Group on Facebook.
Not the latest and greatest, but they serve a purpose for me.

Facebook is a hot pile of garbage that should be fired into the sun.
