Dear people who tell LGBT+ people that we shouldn't care what some right-wing nutters think:
This is why we have to care. What they think does affect us, unfortunately.

Because most of us dislike violence, even when it's necessary and justified.
Meanwhile, the rich have no problem using violence against us to protect their hoarded wealth or if they can profit from it in the slightest.
I'm sure it's much harder to manage a Premium subscription than it is to simply install uBO
Not surprising in the least. I was part of an Amazon product review program, but I stopped participating after seeing multiple posts for pet treats that contained ingredients that are harmful to dogs. Reporting the listings was a nightmare, and they were never taken down.
Fuck you, Amazon.
Paying Microsoft is like paying a ransomware scammer
No amount will ever be enough to satiate their depraved lust for money
It's a common mistake among conservatives that they believe everyone is as self-centered and greedy as they are
I've not become more conservative as I age because I'd kill myself before becoming that awful to people around me
Even on public instances, I don't understand why people think defederating hurts the fediverse. Just join a different instance, how hard can it be?
I'm on 3 different instances right now
Kelloggs has been on the wrong side of history from its conception when they tried to make people stop jerking it
I don't trust Brave one bit. Its whole approach reeks of a bait-and-switch (think "we won't share or sell your data" pre-9/11 Google). Its founder is a massive homophobe and crypto-bro, and I have a massive learned distrust of homophobes and crypto-bros.
Moreover, I see no reason to use it when we already have far superior options (Firefox).
In every comment thread about the importance of supporting Firefox, there's always at least one comment claiming Firefox is slow, even while I repeatedly see the data say otherwise.
Anecdotally, I've used Firefox, Waterfox, and Librewolf on PC, and none have been slow.
I've used Firefox, Firefox Beta, and Fennec on Android, and if anything they seem faster and easier to use than Chrome (and they actually tend to work like an actual internet browser).
I'm not saying these commenters are all Google sockpuppets, but maybe they're parroting misinformation, or maybe they're using ~~an Apple OS~~ iOS, where Firefox is basically Safari.
It's just really perplexing to me.
My "favorite" lecture from young people is the one in which they berate me for "stealing content" by not watching ads on YouTube.
I have a vivid memory of YouTube being a platform where normal people could share videos of their kids and pets or other fun random low quality but entertaining things
