Yeah. It's like the words "retard" or "idiot". Both were clinical terms back in the day. Today when you call someone a retard you're just insulting them, not taking into account developmental studies. When someone calls someone else a nazi they're just insulting them, not saying that they're literal german national socialists.

But of course it's brave! It's not like there was a VAST war that pit fascism against communism and democracy, where 10s of millions died in the fight.

*sigh* There will never be something like this on sci-fi during my lifetime.

@Dickmasterson Can't see the word "propane" anymore and not get reminded of Jim Lahey.

@buoyantair They're news bots mirroring small boomer blogs.

@buoyantair @terryenglish It doesn't have a ton of anything. It has ~6k active users, most of which are bots.

@terryenglish @buoyantair @isolategab yes, I have faced more hatred from Mastodon cancel culture block gangs, than I have from the gab boys,

@terryenglish
Thanks lol
Took a long time to learn that one 😅

STOP, bed time.

@terryenglish @icameheretoawoo We have a whole schism thing going on between true and honest Aoootism and the one with the W, by the way.

@terryenglish @icameheretoawoo It's actually "Aooo"ing. W's are the tools of the devil.

@terryenglish

@terryenglish Sound like you may be getting follows but the notification somehow goes out with the incorrect message.

Maybe if you start to see people following you you should start to get worried.

@icameheretoawoo "Smart" is relative. If people ask you about stuff that requires technical knowledge it means they think you're smarter than them. No one asks a moron for advice. I can bear witness to this and am thankful for my misfiring neurons every day.

@terryenglish Uhhh. I actually followed you? Says "Following!" right now. Clicking the bell doesn't work tho.

@icameheretoawoo Maybe because you're both smart and pure of heart while living surrounded by shady people due to circumstance?

Good morning! ☕

@icameheretoawoo what a hungry little pupper
