For some reason some events remind me about the world going downhill but in a serious and bad way.

I remember when I was on the fediverse and said something to the likes of:

"Wikipedia needs more reliable references"

and then someone comes along

"BUT THEY ARE STEALING MONEY FROM JOURNALISTS BY NOT PAYING FOR ARTICLES"

and I'm like..."Did I kill your dog?"

I think there's a reply guy for everything...troublemakers!

Whiteness is the sense you have to fit in with the other White, 'or else', even when they're saying Racist things in case you get called out as a 'White traitor' and lose your Whiteness privileges.

You can smell it in the Reply Guys here, "fit in, you're letting the team down, I'm afraid of them...."

"People like you" is a wild fucking phrase to level at someone in this day and age..

Calm down, guy.

it's not complicated

I have been guysplained to more times for this one post than in my whole previous history on Fedi.

If you're mad about "y'all", you missed the point of the post.

If you're looking up the etymology of "guy", you missed the point of the post.

If you're telling me that *you* don't think "guys" is a gendered term, you missed the point of the post.

If you're saying "dude, it's just a word", you're kind of a dick.

If you're thinking that "maybe `cisheteronormative white man` shouldn't be the default assumption just because they hold a disproportionate share of power and oppressors often influence language so as to make it seem like their way is the only sane way", then...damn, you *were* paying attention!

If you're like "omg, so much this", omg, ikr??

If you're typing out "I'll try to do better", thank you, that's all we ask

I've been annoyed by people pointing out the obvious to me. #Pompus

OTOH I think Mastodonians are too harsh about #replyguys

Mastodon is #SocialMedia. I think a lot of those people are lonely and trying to reach out/relate however they can, however clumsily.

I've been on #Mastodon for 7yrs and the proto #Fediverse even longer, but only needed to block maybe three #replyGuys in that whole period. Two of those have been in the last 48hrs.

Is Twitter offline this weekend or something?

"Kann mir jemand erklären, wie $Produkt funktioniert?"

"Ich brauche so was nicht und kann dir deshalb nichts dazu sagen."
#replyguys

you know what i call #ReplyGuys en mi lengua natal?

PENDEJOS.

don’t be a pendejo in my mentions.

insomnia doesn’t make me testy. it makes me ruthless

am going to say this to all the knee-jerking fauxnarchist #ReplyGuys out there just waiting to jump at any opportunity to own the libs:

SHUT THE FUCK UP

the vast majority of the Reagan/Bush/Cheney lackeys have been behind Trump SINCE HIS DAYS OF TROLLING OBAMA ABOUT HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

#MAGA IS #REAGANISM.

you come to my mentions to minimize this truth so you can say the Democrats are the real fascists?

GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT A-HISTORICAL BULLSHIT

y’all the worse.

You know Mastodon is under attack but what do you do?

Is ignorance really the solution?

I mean my approach is actually partly "ignorance" because I'm in "Shields Up Mode", so I'm not coming fully clean into this conversation...

What's with all these replyguys?

I think it's a bonus I've been a replyguy myself and still am sometimes when I don't realize I am one: It's easier to detect them!

They don't reply on topic and they talk about stuff that makes you go:

"WTF ARE YOU ON?"

and

"DID YOU READ MY POST!?"

and

"HOW DID YOU COME TO THAT CONCLUSION???"

or

"You replied to someone else and sent it to me"

Spontaneity is fine, let's backtrack. Hit the reply button...but also hit the delete one.
