if you have off from work today, btw, thank a "violent" "leftist" protesting the "wrong way": en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullman_S…
Labor Day exists because Pullman rail workers got fed up of high housing & living costs in the company town they were forced to live in.

This is why I believe federated social networks are never going to work out long term. Someone who starts an instance doesn't know they're signing up for thousands of hours a year wading through the cloaca of the internet. That shit is *terrible* for you.
(CN terrible shit for this whole thread, btw.) Even if Mastodon had the best admin tools ever (and it sounds like they really don't), it's not possible to prepare someone starting a new instance for what is going to get reported to them, either the volume or the content.
In the blog post linked in the above article's first paragraph, Wil says the admin of his instance was overwhelmed by 60 reports in a day and suspended Wil's account to make them stop, no matter what Wil had done, because they couldn't cope with the volume.

Correction: this is curation fandom today. Transformative fandom has an entirely different pattern of harassment, deployed in a way outsiders rarely recognize (& usually directed at other fans, not creators). Which type of fandom you're in is heavily gendered. Long thread: 1/
Curation fandom is my own term (does fan studies academia have a better one?) for the kind of fandom where you collect all the tiny details of canon, all the trivia, all the merchandise, all the things established in supplementary materials, etc. 2/
Star Wars fandom, with its "extended universe" & its debates about what contradicts what, has been a good example of curation fandom for a long time. It's the type of fandom Ready Player One portrays. You "win" by knowing every nuance of the canon & its environment. 3/

Once again, the reason this country does nothing about the link between intimate partner violence and mass shootings is that if we banned people with history of IPV from having guns, up to *half* of current police officers would have to be disarmed.
(Yes, I personally think that's a feature, not a bug, but the people who are in charge don't.)
Statistics vary based on the methodology of the studies, but the most common say that 30-50% of police officers have a history of intimate partner violence. It is the most common profession for people with an IPV problem to have.

CN sex assault & coercion: I made the mistake of reading the comments. The victim blaming is disgusting. So I don't scream at everyone there, a rant about why women don't "just leave":
Women use "soft no"s because we are socialized that the worst thing we can do is make a man feel bad. We are expected, even in refusing something a man wants, to manage their emotions (that they won't admit to having). We employ the soft no to attempt to bypass the sulk.
Research shows men understand the soft no perfectly well when it's employed in other contexts, such as at work or in situations where they don't have power. It isn't a case of misunderstanding; it's a case of not wanting to accept it. Continuing to press after a soft no 3/
