@edyother @Liveotherwise @newtsoda "Overly cultivated concept of compassion."

"Pathological tendency to philosophize."

@Liveotherwise @newtsoda Before my #autism assessment I had been tested for personality disorders and I remember one of the results in the report was that I "may be too concerned with morality".

There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! 🍰

Find out what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people... (1/2)

It's perfectly reasonable and possible for *both* of these statements to be true:

* it is better here than on Twitter
* this better *isn't good enough*

Federation and decentralization *as currently and inconsistently and idiosyncratically practiced* while better, are not good enough.

Digging in and saying that decentralization and federation *is* good enough is really, really unhelpful.

Also, the potential for better does not mean the practical experience is better.

"Systems people rarely blame people for things. They blame systems. The fact that people act in certain perverse ways that produce results that no one wants is not usually (there are exceptions) the fault of the people. They're the rational behave behavior of people in the
system and the question is what's wrong with the system? not what's wrong with the people in it?" (#DonellaMeadows)

A good reminder to focus on learning more about the systems when studying incidents #LFI

Really important, deeply reported, superbly analyzed piece from Kathryn Joyce about the internecine war within the new right and what it means for the rest of us:

I'm going to say this again - my white friends who aren't racists do not mind me talking about racism. If you find yourself disturbed by or uncomfortable with topics on racism, you may want to tell yourself some hard truths. And then, work on your findings. You may be racist.

Just making a post for all former #tweeps, especially those that were in senior positions at Twitter. 1Password is #hiring. We have a close, friendly culture, and I’m sure you’d love it. Please boost if you’re able. I want to be sure this gets over to macaw.social. If you have questions, send me a message and I’ll see what I can find out for you.

(And this post applies to everyone, but I know Twitter employees are hurting right now)
