"I'm just going to let people be wrong on the internet" remains the single most difficult New Year's Resolution I have ever made, hands down.

@evacide
Or let them be stupid is my issue
It happened today........again

@evacide Mood. I just clicked off a streamer who said we stopped going to the moon because of too many accidents.

@gavin57 @evacide it has become easier for me because I know just how pointless(-er) it is

@evacide Gandalf was captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise during the early years until his encounter with the Balor, upon which the elf Spock reigned for a while.

I may have gone too far with this. My life may be in danger.

[securitywriter@infosec.exchange]

@evacide I mean there’s a clear loophole here… it says nothing about not *telling them* why they’re wrong on the internet…

But I agree, I failed quickly.

[darkmatterzine@mastodon.social]

@evacide IMO it became easier when, years ago, foul men living in the USA posted sh*t about me (“How dare an Australian woman start a zine without our permission and mentoring?!”) and I learnt that they WANTED an online fight and to be named. They were FURIOUS when I took all identifiers & links to them off my website. Many ppl are like that: they want the engagement. The best punishment you can mete out is to ignore and even block.

Omg. The irony of this meme considering Chalamet’s recent problematic comments.

@evacide I know....

@evacide Two things make this easier for us:

• The people who are shouting aren't here to listen.
• The work that is education of randos on the internet is, fortunately, not my responsibility. If they're nice I'll help because I'm also nice, otherwise its their problem.

Dumb-problematic or boycott-problematic?

[evelynoctavia@c.im]

@evacide oh yea, nobody can perfectly prevent mistakes from happening

[joscelyntransient@chaosfem.tw]

@evacide I have been getting better at just not commenting…and instead stewing about it for the next 48 hours driving myself nuts

[npars01@mstdn.social]

@evacide

If freedom is something you value, then the freedom to be wrong is part of that.

[darkuncle@infosec.exchange]

@evacide for everything there is an xkcd

[spiegelmama@infosec.exchange]

@evacide I should have let people be ignorant about journalism. I failed. Sigh. I'll aim to do better. /gen

[cgervasi@fosstodon.org]

@evacide Now it has to be expanded to letting bots be wrong too.

@evacide Liberating, but exasperating. Salute 🫡
