@seedsignal @alice the only effective means is to deny such #RentSeekers profit.
- Unfortunately Mastodon developers decided against making it easy for moderators & users tobdefend against it, which is a deliberate decision!

Otherwise this could be done fairly easily for the users and admins.
@kkarhan @alice I would need to hear their rationale to agree with your assessment and it is not explicated well enough on the link.
If you know of a deeper cut on their thinking, kindly link it, as I suspect they'll not engage when already convicted. It's a human thing, really, but hard to overcome.
On face, I am curious why they would prohibit something that grants admin granularity in controls. Hmm.
Thanks for the pointer. 🖖
Ah, found it.

A conflation that the authority in question is signalling an unwillingness to discuss further.
Not uncommon. Parsing the rationale demonstrated. More in a moment.... 🖖

@seedsignal @alice np.
In fact, I do encourage people to formulate their own opinion based off facts.
@seedsignal yeah, same for me.

@seedsignal @alice I mean, I do the same all the time even if that means I commit #LèseMajesté on Fedi…

@seedsignal @alice I don't claim to be perfect, but I also see mistakes and how one deals with these as room for improvement and real differenciator.
- Cuz some folks just want to press others into some shit, and sometimes it's an honest mistake with amends beibg done to correct the trajectory longterm!
@kkarhan @alice I'm the last one to talk about could, should, would, because we all know that has simply never been reality and most of us well know the reasons why (and how they aren't changing, and why that is the judgment, too).
I don't bother with claims except when I do. And most of when I am not looks like I am. If this isn't telling you how humans see what they know or fear because that's how we do, I'm wasting my time.
I do not waste time. But I see lots of humans who do.
Feel me? 🪔
@seedsignal @alice yeah…
Too many people are busy being angry at the wrong people and/or for the wrong reasons…

@seedsignal It's the difference between:
"Sorry for parking there. I've unloaded groceries and I'm just about to leave the spot"
vs.
"i'll park wherever the fuck I want amd if you dislike that I'll jist claim you're racist for calling a tow truck jist to be able to drive away."
And unless one's an asshole blocking an ambulance or fire truck, I don't see a reason the first one is to be preferred.
M- But I guess #NuancedOpinons are rare today…
Life is literal.
Death is too.
Human etiquette and bias and preference play is not... until it is... but why that is rests in a chair you cannot see until you're as able and willing to remove the "I" as you are the "other".
Any human conflict can be factored to fear or curiosity. It's the first gate. Solve for curiosity and you solve the world.
Everyone wants to solve fear.
Not happening. That's the slow walk to sky promise. Like when I do this:
🖖
@kkarhan Discrimination and bias are* not nuance, but* conditional gaming of a logic circuit in the name of finding a case that provides leverage sought.
Neither use case is preferred. Both are at fault. Both get condemned. The mistake is treating them differently.
Violation that presumes entitlement is the shell to solve; presumes privilege?The pulp to solve; maybe be justified? The root to solve.
Unilateral is the goal.🖖
@kkarhan It's fascinating to me how no one wants the unilateral because it means they "lose" some entitlement, privilege, justification, et al.
This IS the problem. And it's everywhere that we are, because WE ARE IT and it is us.
Evolution is the slow walk solve of xenophobia, from which supremacist and exceptionalist ontology spring.
There is no short cut. If history doesn't prove that by now, then it's a choice, isn't it?
@kkarhan Succinctly - it's not nuance if it's made of straw. 🖖
