i miss when the fediverse wasn't 95% pearlclutching creeps who join whatever harassment campaign comes their way that they feel obligated to join lest they become the next day's target
at least i am grateful for learning a year or so ago that as compelling of an idea as the fediverse is, we're just not ready for it yet and any attempt to make it what it needs to be will just be fought against by the most tiresome and lowstakes grifters imaginable, and there's better uses of my time. i keep w.l up for whatever respite it may offer some, and in hopes someday it will be time, but i ain't puttin no eggs i can't afford to lose in that basket, if you catch my obvious drift.
a lot of things suck in my life right now, but also a lot of things are great, and even more importantly the things that suck are real and part of actually solving problems and making my life better, not completely bonkers garbage like getting screamed at that you're racist against latinx people for things like "actually having one of the two other admins actually live in south america" and "knowing how to spell piñata" and i think that is pretty neat
p.s. to settle that one one and for all, i actually paid attention in high school spanish and also while living my life in the american southwest, and as such both commonly see piñatas and know how to spell piñata. i also have a thing set up so when i press meta+z i get a menu with special characters and emoji, which includes ñ. i hope this brings closure and/or exciting new distortions to the "anna is the worst racist in history" canon
