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

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

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

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

@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.
@DarkMatterZine @evacide Kind of like the Naughty Step

@evacide The hard part is not letting anyone be wrong on the Internet, that happens naturally, all the time. What's difficult is making anybody conscious to be wrong, on the Internet.
Once, communication with a wide audience was driven by entities with some authority on that media. Somebody authoritative, some other authoritarian, but whatever the narration always showing to be "right".
Hence, anybody writing on this media (like I do now) feels to have inherited that power to be "right". G'd lk -
Omg. The irony of this meme considering Chalamet’s recent problematic comments.
@JoBlakely @alienghic @evacide Wasn't he was commiting to being his character in Marty Supreme IRL, similar to Andy Kaufman's performance art/comedy

@evacide
Remember when they said, "wow some random strangers on the internet has changed my mind about x. thanks!"Me neither. Most of the time the convo will only turn rage-bait-y and ruin everyone's day.
I don't get paid to put my energy correcting some randos & trolls.

The main issue being it's now automated and at scale with multiple tools available for generating and publishing wrongness.
Correcting such is a task at least an order of magnitude bigger than the problem

@evacide Taken me several decades to (mostly) work that out of my system (and various other things too.) Wish I'd been quicker about it but happy that I eventually (mostly) got here. -
