dang.
had a conversation with old PI today about white supremacist organizing on the internet.
he was genuinely surprised at how much I knew about it, like, "you must be deep into the internet!" and it's like
no, not really?
it's just that once you start noticing it, you kinda don't stop, and you want to do what you can to report it and get it removed
so yeah, that's how I knew about the organizing happening on Twitter and Facebook

like.
these people don't HIDE or anything. they're not ashamed, why would they?
the obnoxious ones are smart enough not to list where they work or go to school, so apart from useless Facebook reports, there were no repercussions.

in reply to haf, blurst of her name • • •if you're white and you use the internet, you have a duty to ensure that the spaces you are in are not a safe space for white supremacists. no, "oh but I like this person and they've never done anything in MY group" -- listen to us. listen to what we have to say. report people to the mods or if it's an ongoing problem, *leave the fucking group and let people know why you're leaving*.
make mods explain their decisions. make it uncomfortable. make it weird.
it's the LEAST you can do.
