Bryan Lunduke @lunduke@librem.one

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@tenforward.social 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!

@steven@todon.nl @rune @purism @paulfree14 @gabriele@social.lucci.xyz

What. Did... did you read the thing I just posted? Your response doesn't seem like a response to what I wrote.

You've also attacked me a great deal (based on just... totally made up stuff).

I... I really think there must be a basic, simple misunderstanding somewhere in here.

@emsenn@tenforward.social

Huh. Okay then.

You want me to have said a thing.

I did not say the thing.

I believe that is the end of that until either

a) You decide that I did not say a thing or
b) I retroactively say the thing.

Good day, sir.

@steven@todon.nl @rune @purism @paulfree14 @gabriele@social.lucci.xyz

You said:
"Purism deliberately designed Librem Social to be a safe space for Nazis to plan attacks, and there is a paper trail of all of this"

I said:
"There *definitely* is not a paper trail proving that. Because it's clearly not true."

I think... do we possibly have a language issue here? Or do we have a grammar problem that is making this needlessly difficult?

@emsenn@tenforward.social

Cool. Cool.

So. To sum up:

You found someone semi-sorta-pretendy-famous-lite on the Internet. You don't like that person. So you tell that person why you don't like them?

@steven@todon.nl @rune @purism @paulfree14 @gabriele@social.lucci.xyz When did I deny that?

@emsenn@tenforward.social

Hm. I don't know you. I don't even know who you are. But I can say that you were not kind towards me.

You say that you have reasons to "unfollow" me. That is totally fine. But your reasons are false. You may still unfollow me, but to repeat untruths is not kind.

@steven@todon.nl @rune @purism @paulfree14 @gabriele@social.lucci.xyz

?

Please provide links to where I said specifically what you say. I'd gladly review that and see.

@shit @purism @rune @gabriele@social.lucci.xyz @paulfree14 @steven@todon.nl Whoah now. Be cool. Everyone, even if you disagree with them, is a person.

@paulfree14 @ThisIsLeeloo @gabriele@social.lucci.xyz @purism How does that make me a liar? Government agencies called Antifa a terrorist organization. Not me. I reported on the potential problems relating to a corporation donating to another organization which provides support to Antifa. Specifically around what problems that could raise for the donating company. Are you just unhappy with the title wording?
