Last Notes npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 you keep doing the thing of presuming that you, or whoever, can be a very accurate barometer for "bigotry" npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 No, I do what I would do in real life which is to respond like a *grownup* and not a like catty sorority person. npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 No sir, I am actually directly referencing behavior I've witnessed with e.g. "the bad place/space" whatever people, which I'm presuming is a thing all over this place. Could be wrong. npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 I have absolutely no clue what you were trying to say here but lets try this: npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Hey this is still going, fun. npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Again, I *want* this place, mastodon, to succeed. npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 (oh wait, I meant twitters feed, not here) npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Since Elon, I noticed a sort of gradual decline (as well as a boosting of non-essentials, like lots of kendrick/drake opinions) -- but no MAJOR shift in "ideology" npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 If you know me, you know I've always thought that leaving twitter was 1) an absolutely fine personal individual choice but also 2) NOT something you should *insist* others do because it was *possible* that the good of speaking with others etc might outweigh the bad npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 I'd say it's worse than that; npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Me and every other Black voter I know? npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 "Sits ATOP?" npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Jefferies is (likely) between a rock and a hard place npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 This sounds deep but is saying literally nothing controversial; yes if you dont get elected you cant do things npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 You don't need to *agree* with Hakeem Jeffries being lukewarm on Mamdani; but you do need to understand where it's coming from. npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 okay npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Twitter is better than Mastodon because Elon Musk wouldn't make a fake account under the name Adrian Dittman and talk about how he gets lots of sex on here, like which instance would he even join to do that npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 Sure: npub15pcy657hl5ujtze3zh8hqtmn623vstjsjd846aygj0gkcfys2l2s9mwrfk jrm4 I wish I shared your optimism, but overall I think people *here* really miss the point that, on social media
