Yet, I question the idea of setting a &#34;feminist agenda.&#34; Ideas that women are equal human beings with their own ambitions and flaws and personalities just as men are may be anti-patriarchal, but not feminist. My own observations have been that young men can&#39;t, or won&#39;t, listen to women with regards to interacting with women. The current patriarchal line is that men are lonely, angry, and disenfranchised because of women; thus, it seems absurd to suggest women engage with this rhetoric - as they can only confirm it, whether they are or disagree.<br/><br/> Men, whether they call themselves feminists or not, need to listen to young men and encourage them to see women as other equal human beings and not simply as other creatures who are mysterious and exist solely for pleasure. 2025-06-09T02:35:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2s9fww2f3muash52heyx5tc9dtm78dlep3yvz7vg4uh7933qcl5gzypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lw2j7wrf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs050r0uzx4ec622nga8uln6wlmxt6k6tmtaleafwfntedcr0zn6hsl5q4w7'>nevent1q…q4w7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I partially agree, but I also recognize that it&#39;s not women&#39;s job to &#34;fix&#34; men.

This means your, particularly group, chats are exposed on the Telegram servers. How much does this matter? IMO for basic (non-privileged) chats it&#39;s probably fine, but if you are sharing activist or journalism work, you&#39;re much better protected using Signal or Matrix. As with all security (and a lot of things) this depends on your risk profile, and who you&#39;re trying to protect against. Personally, I use all three platforms, Signal is where various activist groups I&#39;m a member of exchange info, Telegram has a lot of my kink friends and chats, and Matrix, has been mostly for distributing sensitive info-sec work. 2025-03-03T15:00:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs83e5nsvy4fx0yca89xaamhmvyp40rrr5qm2lr5dxaqueaqyjnnlgzypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lw6kc5a0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz3cu8v5x738rnqg8cfujwrphwuefl0ruhjz4dumd7yapeuuxj34gp0k7t0'>nevent1q…k7t0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ll just leave this here<br/> <img src="https://media.ferral.cat/media/3e4eda00958c4bc8f25e1577e4dcbe7b52e689969d1eb189c4a03692b93a2601.jpg?name=1000003575.jpg"> <br/> 2025-02-08T21:46:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdpyz6ewzsxecqxl6gqvzyrcm8nqnv4v72x2dmnxvjvnylad783nszypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lwcf6qx9 This is not good - across all fronts: <br/> <br/>C.D.C.

Any external app needs to deal with this, and it&#39;s typically the area that most trips us non-tech users. 2025-02-03T18:46:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszdmz8l7xndjtr0q5hnx7jjxgcj58h879uf3cpkkgtrxvgr56u0ngzypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lw6wmjc5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrvq6f3clpx888pek3qpl5vwcmaesawse25usxwd9erpq8xqxlgnslahaty'>nevent1q…haty</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As someone who used to teach journalists and researchers how to deal with PGP encrypted e-mail, I can tell you this is not the way for most non-tech users. 2025-02-03T17:41:14Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2s8y8y073ypj6rawu4ftynka5z88wdsxh9xpgegwyny79jn6fc7qzypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lwwzunv9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvrkegcmpqn99g0l6usnx77wj5msnn7hqq3a0pd3hv4csj8uhvghs22suz7'>nevent1q…suz7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Folding to Trump&#39;s demands is just going to embolden him.

Western conservatives tend to still embrace liberalism - which is opposed by the right-wing elements within conservative movements. 2025-01-13T04:06:25Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs97lje0rjtt4xlerf4hpxv5hss97grswkkc8wq9km3sfdtz64tjyczypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lwq04h7x In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8a2zp5yk5mc26gvagzn7wky3kqd7ahxgv2lwz3w6z6ux8ymtgjmqjcuvgx'>nevent1q…uvgx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I tend to agree with you, but -and I don&#39;t mean to be pedantic - is there currently a right-wing movement that does not have an authoritarian goal? <br/><br/>In the strictest sense, the right-wing began as supporters of an authoritarian monarchy. The nature of the right is always to support a strict hierarchical structure which tends towards social control. 2025-01-13T03:56:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgavj8dq2gxnzuk6f8py6zy7fj8hr8gay09vdg3fr6nggpkjjxq6qzypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lwu3gzuv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfm3c39plflucwft577rysuskah9gh9hqxqj67phahfcg58k66kgsakxg3w'>nevent1q…xg3w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This is good information. As I just spun up my own akkoma instance, I&#39;ve not had any issues yet, and I have no desire for virality; yet, I am interested in what the scaling metrics are for akkoma? For instance, I&#39;ve noticed more context switching and iops load as I interact more, but it hasn&#39;t been terrible. As I have access to a datacenter and my own servers, I have been watching some of the my server metrics with a keen interest on what capacity planning looks like. 2025-01-09T22:00:45Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswvdag5qs2r0d7zh79lk27ts0ngsgmus92325f4xjm4svhq0k7xvczypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lwqwzzyf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqhln6wm9xcdu4e8hmkscxjfufcchpgnguwhwxvvnykrfylm6p7ksqncfgf'>nevent1q…cfgf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Quite a few admins go back and forth on blocking or limiting mastodon.social due to spam and moderation issues. Personally, I feel strongly that admins need to be transparent with their users when doing this. Before leaving, I would encourage you to move to a different instance. 2025-01-04T18:19:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsf39fyf2sn8w3ldpac9zqehyf4hgk9hxa7jdfh2mkf9jvtkftsldgzypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lw9vcvu8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsderdrr3rvnyrhhfesr7d9cuxzd6jps8m5ue0jyv5zu72g3xuk90c5qse6g'>nevent1q…se6g</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>In my early days on Mastodon, I wrote a long screed opposing quoted boosts. Having just left the clown-show that was twitter, I wanted to avoid some of the issues that showed up there. Today, I gladly admit I was wrong. Quoted boosts are valuable feature. More user controls simply needs to be placed on them. 2025-01-03T23:50:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrfzvl6c9lgpmh9yeas396w0zhy0jek2urje6p07kd69zqnmpurrszypqy2qczegaqhw9x2slkz4ev6lfzv2c5uaamrcvmnkfz2edld88lwr2fnyq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswg5xh4fetah3jrjdkzx68h7978jtuaad83jmnha2ztyl9gaygtyq22hqx4'>nevent1q…hqx4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Google moving to 90 days was a bad idea. Moving to 6 days is insane.
