Normally I try very hard to ignore discourses but this one's been a litttttle ticking-me-off because of how it's been negatively affecting my friends and touches on topics of prescriptivism and policing language that I'm too much of a Words Dork to not have strong feelings about
I'm literally an editor. I fix grammar and spelling as my job, but even I know that there's different registers for different contexts, and I severely dislike how people use the topics of disability and accessibility as a prop to police how folks are talking to an audience primarily of their friends. I'm also a therian, and I know how vital it is to have spaces where one can present as their identified species.
"You should tag every post you make so I can systematically filter them out" come on just fuckin mute them stop putting the onus of labor on folks to accommodate someone who isn't even part of their intended audience
Maybe have a bit of tolerance, hmm? Stop getting so blisteringly mad about harmless critters yapping among themselves. This isn't the Important News Feed, this is a relatively niche social media website.
