Hello I'm Dorian!

I use they/them pronouns!

I advocate for using Free and Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) as a basis for building digital communities that prioritize the real human beings that use them. Together we can build supportive and resilient communities that serve our needs.

I'm a big nerd for many things:
Language; Philosophy (particularly Stoicism and existentialism); FLOSS; minimal web and software design.

Here's a short video explaining some of the ways that Mastodon is different from other social media you may be familiar with:

Here's a blog post I wrote talking about what alternative social media looks like:

Europeans actually have several different ethnic groups with distinct histories. There are the proud & warlike western europeans, the aloof & intellectual scandinavians, and the gregarious russians (also known as eastern europeans). Even these can be broken down into further ethnic groups!

Self-care is ongoing. It's not a one and done fix for everything. Take care of yourself today, and tomorrow, and the next day.

L.J.: anti-white racist

I would also like to emphasize that kicking Nazis out is only the *barest godsdamned minimum*. Nazis are easy to hate. They are not respectable. Kicking them out isn't the hard part. The really hard antiracist and even antifascist work is with people you like, people who are respectable and in good standing. It's with the learned bigoted and violent impulses in your own good leftist self. This is the part where the fedi, and really white society in general, fails miserably.

I got the scammer from “Apple Support” to toss obscenities at me! I guess I’ll call that a successful day. One of these days I really want to set up some VMs just to fuck with these dudes even more.

Also it was a really interesting experience in witnessing the rage that flys up when someone swears at me. I didn’t even feel particularly angry, but my heart started pumping SUPER HARD after he swore at me. Interesting.

computer opinion 

I'd rather use a buggy piece of crappy public software, than a smoothly polished private software (with ads and built-in spyware.)
But in my experience they're about equally buggy anyway.
