CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@Fragglemuppet the curriculum and teachers at the time I was in school were both awful, so, it was all too hard.

this is not twitter,

this is not bluesky,

this is a network run and populated by people.

actual living, breathing, thinking entities. not algorithms.

and people do not respond well when treated as if they were machines.

dear mutual aid posters,

if you don't want to be mistaken for scammers or spambots, please don't act like them.

this behavior includes, but is not limited to:

- sending unsolicited DMs to people who've boosted your posts in the past

- repeatedly sending follow requests to someone when your first follow request is denied

@jessamyn hell yes. use that state power as another tool in your kit.

@artemis Fighting clean is for tournaments. Fighting for survival is - by its very nature - a dirty, nasty, brutish act.

And the fuckers want us *gone.*

Not simply dead, but memory-holed into non-existence.

Let's go for the eyes, knees, groin, and throat. Metaphorically.
