@django TLDR: this shouldn't have been a suspend but a limit, and the fact that the CWG refused to change this while I wait ~3 weeks for you to meet (fair; I'm not part of the group to determine your meeting cadence) shows, the way I perceived it, a lack of care and concern for what people in the "outgroup" think, feel and need.

@django thank you for reaching out, Django! And thank you for getting the discussion started by reporting the account; I think that went well, and several things actually did, even though overall my feeling (as evidenced by the thread in Zulip and the above post) is still of frustration because of not feeling seen or considered enough.

My main frustration with the process, if I pin it down, is the fact that the group repeatedly ignored my proposal to move the account to a limit to allow people to still interact with the account if they want it *and* defuse the risky situation (the removal of follow relationships) at no obvious safety cost to anyone else while the CWG took all the time you need for deliberation. To insist on suspend after I made the points I made for limit, without actually acknowledging them, felt like being deliberately ignored. I also didn't like the fact that people *did* take the time to dismiss my concerns without substance.

@notsoloud I agree, but my answer here is 'Both' actually.

@flancian
Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Israeli controlled areas of Gaza. Areas of Gaza where Palestinians are not allowed. And all the roads and walls and check points in the West Bank. You should probably ask people driving in the area (on the Palestinian side) about this, but I doubt it's de facto a contiguous territory like on the map.

@flancian
There definitely was an Arabic colonial expansion, but there's no point litigating it 1300 years later.

Alternatively, decolonize Scania from the Swedes, Essex from the Saxons, Etruria from the Romans, Early European Farmer territory from the Steppe Herders, Hunter/gatherer lands from Early European Farmers, Neanderthal caves from Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Where is there one acre of land that isn't somehow stolen?

Let's acknowledge the past and do better today.

@notsoloud I thought it did, thanks! What's missing from the map? Looking

My hypothesis is that Jesus was high on mushrooms and/or cannabis for at least a few of the episodes in the new testament. I'm not sure about Mohammed. They might also just have had some neurological condition that manifested as revelations.

@flancian
Things would be a lot better if the second map actually represented reality.

Let me ellaborate: this is how public it is: all my atproto data including this post. Take a look

One or more of these maps show the result of aggressive colonial expansion. Which one? (#Poll in the next message.)

“Narrative violence” cry the victims committing actual violence on a daily basis.

“Zionism” (n): the standard unit of human depravity.

@hollie the Jane Austen disagreement has my vote!!!

hey @flancian I made the original report with the intent that we discuss the issues and potential threat as CWG Ops, and with the members at wide.

The process wasn’t how I imagined it would go, and despite us having opposing views on the matter, I’m glad you have been active in bringing the discussion to this point.

Currently, it seems like a number of the “Could be better” responses actually support your position but are asking for a more clear proposal.

I understand your frustration with the speed of things, but ultimately I think this is worth taking the time to deliberate, this technology was simply not a consideration the last time we revised our policies

Is there a site like AiIsGoingGtreat?

A timeline of the the constant shit show I can’t seem to get away from

i feel bad constantly fixating on the informational capitalists while there is so much material harm being done in the world, and then simultaneously remind myself that this is literally capitalism's gamble to finally and fully enclose not only the material world but also our minds. If informational reality comes to be owned by 4 megacorporations, then it's all fascism forever baby.

Hello mastodon! Every #community has the right to maintain their #language and #culture, and doing so is often the cure for the colonial, #capitalist abyss! My work is in helping language programs achieve this goal by being deeply culturally aligned and culturally sustaining as well as wildly #effective in nurturing new #fluent speakers faster. In the meantime, #educators and #learners have a lot more fun! Excited to get to know the fediverse!

@shom Well done! 😂

I begrudgingly ordered a new phone when it looked like Apple had stopped providing security updates for my iPhone XS.

On a positive note, apparently photos from my old phone were lacking so now I have a better camera.

Naturally, Keisha was the subject of my 1st photo with my new phone. Still need to figure out the new camera navigation.
