100% of the people on fedi who have been the most aggressively rude and threatening to me have been transwomen. is this due to trans overrepresentation on fedi or something else?

@monkeyborg cultural appropriation isnt real. engage in all the nonsensical woowoo bullshit you like.

@Elizafox most of europe is civilized in ways the usa will never be

@bcallah did somebody say WEABOO????

@surfingalot @mike no the android play services situation is bad too. you basically cant use any apps unless you install the google spyware lib

@Elizafox unnecessary demands for govt id, financial surveillance, startups demanding phone numbers

@liaizon i am in berlin for the next 10 weeks

@arh@mstdn.io @liaizon yes but it is extremely hard with tons of minerals and sucks for washing, but at least it has no chlorine

@liaizon @arh@mstdn.io it is not the same water! it is a separate system for emergencies

@mike you cant use notifications on webapps which is a requirement for realtime chat

@avalos@mstdn.social @fsf yeah people need and want more, as evidenced by slack and discord.

@mike apple id requires phone number. cant install ios apps without one. services require phone numbers. some require a payment card even if you add a gift card balance first. most mobile carriers interfere with vpn traffic, or block it entirely.
