@kaniini @realcaseyrollins @feld Also, name a single radical feminist who was violent against a trans person. I can name a lot of the opposite happening.

See:

- Footage of actual violence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_d3ozhSE-U (note: the uploader is Miranda Yardley, a gender-critical transsexual)

- Threats and glorification of violence: https://terfisaslur.com/

As far as I know there's been no case of a so-called "TERF" actually committing an act of violence against a trans person. AFAIK every known murder of a trans person has been perpetrated by a man, and most likely a homophobic man who knows *nothing* about radical feminism.

The idea that women's thoughts can make men be violent against trans people is a sexist idea.

@kaniini
While this point is fair (assuming you're right and for the sake of discussion from your POV) I'm sure he'd be doing this even if Glinner was out of the picture.

Remember: this project isn't just for TERFs, it's for everybody.

@kaniini
That doesn't really impact the code of at all. It's just open source code. Who does it oppress in any real, practical sense?
@feld

@feld @realcaseyrollins

he is developing it to deploy on Spinster and Graham Linehan's instance, Glinner.

@kaniini
Why? Is there some sort of code-pink third wave feminist blocking mechanism hidden inside of the source code that I'm not currently aware of?

That's like saying guns are bad because they're used to murder people. Yes, they are, but they're used for good causes too, like self defense. In fact, good uses of guns are the best way to combat bad uses of guns, and I think that principle probably applies to .

If you think too many TERFs use or are in control of its direction, the least constructive thing you could possibly do is tell non TERFs to boycott it. That changes nothing, nor does it fix the "problem" you have with the project.

@kaniini
What are the rights he's trying to harm? From everything I've heard, he's supportive on most human rights.

@kaniini
I still think it's ironic that Gleason was nice to you and defended you while people were bullying you over your appearance, and you continue to attack and insult him.

Like all he did was have an opinion on a mental illness. Hardly something to warrant not just a single accusation, but multiple personal attacks on separate occasions.

@feld @kaniini reiserfs is a funny story actually since it's treated as something in extinguish mode - the driver in kernel accumulated lots of crust, causes corruption and lunix refuses to include reiser4 because of „coding standards” (which is bullshit, it's obviously political/PR reasons). They did the same with OSS – to the point of spreading false info that OSSv3 is the only OSS and it's obsolete.

Is it potato, or potato?
