marketing chief of purism is giving support to ICE 

Black Hat drama this week shows the risks in creating a machine/process w/ the power to censor a group for personal views. Always starts w/ dangerous/unsympathetic views, inevitably expands to censor other groups based on shakier grounds.

@lunduke I like Lunduke, and one of the reasons I do is that you REALLY remind me of David Tennant (British actor from Doctor Who mainly)

Obviously I would never tell someone else what to think or what to say. Ever.

Just the same I would consider it a personal favor if, when responding to my posts... if folks could keep the language both "safe for work" and "appropriate for kids."

I like to keep my feed safe to read and see by everyone -- all walks of life, all ages, etc.

Thanks everyone!

@jordan31@fosstodon.org It's not as fun as it sounds!

@Mayana ACK! You're right! I totally broke the third person rule with that line! CURSES!

And thanks... and welcome! :)

@jordan31@fosstodon.org lol! Yes! Boggles my mind, but there are some people (a tiny handful, luckily) that are borderline obsessed with attacking me online. Day in, day out. And calling me a Nazi (or variations on that theme) seems to be their go-to line. ;)

Lunduke likes you for who you are. Even if you don't like Lunduke.

Lunduke knows, apparently, how to write in the third person.

It's time for a round of "Lunduke says obvious things about himself because a few people like to make up things about him."

Lunduke is not now, and has never been, a Nazi.

Lunduke is a proud Jewish man.

Lunduke believes in freedom. Free speech and Free Software are my jam.

Lunduke believes in and lives by the ideals of Bill & Ted: Be excellent to each other.

Lunduke has been fighting for basic civil rights for ALL (incl. same sex marriage) since he became a grown-up in the 90s.

Ugh.

I made the mistake of engaging with a couple trolls yesterday.

Was feeling raw, let my guard down, and responded. Such a newbie mistake on my part. Yeesh.

Mental note: just ignore the trolls.

My dad died yesterday.

He was 65 and had become a hero to me. A few months back, when we almost lost my wife and newborn son, my dad came and stayed with us. He took care of my kids -- kept them fed and feeling loved -- while I was taking care of things in the hospitals.

He dropped everything for a month... to make sure he was there for me and our kids.

When I needed help more than any other time in my life... he was there. And he was amazing.

I love you, dad.

@emsenn I definitely wrote that summary.

I was referring to specific government agencies (which I detailed in that episode) and their declaration of Antifa being a terrorist organization. I then went into some reporting (and some conjecture) about what that could mean -- from a legal and tax perspective, as well as from a marketing perspective -- for Mozilla.

It sounds to me like you just don't like the description - didn't contain those details.

But *I* still didn't call them that.

Hey, benefit of the doubt! I'll take it! Let's assume we're all here because we want to make the world a wonderful, awesome place and move from there! :)

Let me respond with a question (I know that's annoying): What would *you* do to counter hate-speech?

I ask, because I am curious. There are many ways to deal with problems on social networks like this. And even more disagreements. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas on it!
