Oddbean new post about login | logout @27823c36 @420f26f4 if you're referring to who I'm thinking about yeah it was really upsetting and honestly disingenuous the way he frames that whole thing as being about "fashy trans" people and have the gall to bring up the civility trap when that's precisely what's being done to us trans women right now: provoke us with some harm and then when we respond in an upset manner pretend to be the victims.
@364db023 @420f26f4 I vibe with the bit about the civility trap for that exact reason - i felt the thing snap shut on me in that thread. Seeing a chunk of highly radioactive debris in my feed originating from an account I had until that point trusted has been a real "what's going on here?" moment.
@27823c36 @420f26f4 and yeah this is why I keep getting pulled into this controversy people I follow keep producing toxic radioactive waste regarding this topic and it's frustrating and keeps pulling me back in
@364db023 @420f26f4 I've noticed that mastodon seems to be significantly more vitriolic than twitter and I'm wondering if that's a dilution thing (I follow a ton of art accounts on twitter so Disk Horse is comparatively a smaller chunk of it) or if people are just genuinely more pissed off here. Or if it's a block thing; I was part of a block list on twitter for awhile that blocked everything trans-hostile.
