For fucks sake ... Call women "women" and men "men". Saying "females" and "males" is creepy and triggers my "what, did you learn how to talk about women from Ferengi?" Or "are you doing some TERF nonsense about "male/female genitalia/chromosomes/body/socialization".
Every time someone I feel like they've become something of an e-acquantance, maybe even a possible e-friend on here, used to post pretty often, then they just. Stop posting. And I get to worry, is this it, the time they finally have moved onto some other platform? Or gotten too depressed to post anymore? But also I'm too awkward to DM. So instead I just vaguely subtoot.
Don't call them "narco terrorists", call them what they are. Unregulated capitalists.
Can I pet your dog?
It's really embarrassing when some white person tries to get you in on some "hey, don't we all hate those minorities?" Take. Umm ... No. No I don't, and stop trying to imply that we all do or should. There's only one minority I categorically hate: Billionaires
Okay, I could give them a battle of wills. Can I give enough spicy takes to break their will before they break me.
A lesser known Mastodon pro tip: Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post? The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation. But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation: Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it. Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.
