Hey, leftists (edit: EVERYONE), how about you stop it with the purity tests, all right?

Human beings are not designed to be in a panic 24/7. We've already got fascists and authoritarians and right wing Christian assholes trying to force us into panic 24/7 so we become exhausted, tired, and no longer want to do the work.

You're not helping if you nitpick people on the same side as you. Your way is not the only way!

Human beings need breaks to rest, be creative, and yes, be entertained, and if you criticize people for taking a break from the outward horror for as little as two hours, comrade, you need to go touch grass.

A good comrade of mine left the Fediverse immediately after some dipshit from New York called him a racist because he used the word mook, and I, an ethnic Chinese stepped in and said no, that's not what that word means - especially for Malaysians who use a completely different slur for Chinese people.

But the damage had been done.

@rewarp @arisummerland yeah I think that's one of the biggest reasons why people left fedi besides it being confusing and most only really talking about tech. hell even the mastodon app warns you not to be a scold if you don't follow each other

@eblu@wetdry.world @arisummerland@beige.party The kicker is my comrade used to run an instance here, and I was part of the server.

I don't want to blame Fedi. This is more of being over-zealous policing and weaponizing purity tests. People here eventually mellow out, but I can see how coming straight from Twitter and other apps that reprogram your brain to be constantly trying to cancel others is detrimental to building community.
