OutOfExile_IDR § Voice ®™️<p>Misogynistic Ablest Trans/Homophobic Racist Troll – Not a Love Story</p><p>⚠️ (CW) Content Warning ⚠️: Screenshots below contain slurs and fascist rhetoric noted in the title.</p><p>Saturday night, I posted a self advocacy guide from the "Autistic "Self Advocacy Network", in the comments section of my article on US DOL disability wage exploitation. I promptly received a comment from "@ Leyonhjelm @ shitposter world", a.k.a ".@ leyonhjelm @ freespeechextremist .com". For those of you who are unaware, apparently the individual is the self proclaimed "Chief Supreme Court Justice of the Fediverse", according to their profile.</p><p>I usually just report/block and move on, but I was feeling frisky. I responded to the comment that read, "We should pay them less than we already do". I thought, perhaps they were referring to government representatives, so I asked for clarification. The follow-up response said, "the disabled. Less able, Less pay. Simple as." I was instantly upgraded from frisky, to feisty.</p><p>After having a look at this person's profile(s), I soon discovered, they seems to demonstrate a pattern of posting racist, misogynistic, and trans/homophobic rhetoric, as well as ablest slurs. When I saw that, and the use of the "R" slur against people with down syndrome, feisty was upgraded to furious. That word should be stricken from the language, unless it's referring to fireproof materials. I also found that the user and server was blocked on this instance (Kolektiva), but not by the other instance, where my "self advocacy" post originated. I thought a PSA to give people a heads up, was in order. </p><p>The screenshots below are blurred, but unedited, so if you don't want to see those words, please don't look. I'm certainly not going to repeat any of them, but they seem to indicate, that practicing every possible type of hatred, is the sole reason for existence of profiles and servers like this. Posting comments about feminism and trans people, using slurs against POC and the disabled, then bragging about it, certainly leaves no doubt. Why are such accounts and servers allowed to be federated within Mastodon? </p><p>There's a lot of answers to that question. Here's one. "313 Chris admin @ DetroitRiotCity . com" bragged on a public post displayed on the profile of the commenter, saying : "We bullied at least one dip shit from the NAS this afternoon. And I also used the "redacted – racial slur" with some broad from some Masto instance". This is a server administrator is allowed by Mastodon, to run instance.</p><p>I'll be expanding on this subject in a blog post on ableism and hate on Mastodon. I've had several experiences with this, and similar behaviors, as well as, positive and negative interactions with various server administrators, in regard. Sure, this stuff does exist on some of our "Ex" social media sites, but I think many will agree, it has no place here. Based on many conversations I've had with many Mastodonians, I think there's more that can be done, and so do others. </p><p>Ultimately, I responded to the comment, that people with disabilities should receive "less pay", in Québecois and Norwegian . I did not offer an English or "ignorant American" translation, at first. Because of great moderation at Kolektiva social, the commenters post was not visible with my response. It makes much more sense when you can see the whole story. </p><p>Part of the goal of people like this, seems to be to distract those working for change, and to distract from the original issue of discussion – US Department of Labor FSLA section 14 (c), legal exploitation of workers with disabilities, was the topic. Don't let ass hat fascist like this, win the battle for disability "EOE" in regard to wages. I hear there's a few in DC.</p><p>Follow the links in the comments to contact your representatives and fight to change this archaic injustice, once and for all. </p><p>Click here to expand the original post. Read the full article, scroll down to find the links to take action, and see my response with translation and cutesy graphic. You can also help by removing fascists from government altogether. I suppose you could also vote. 😉 </p><p>To help one disabled person directly, you can buy me a coffee on ko-fi, here: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/outofexile_idr" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">ko-fi.com/outofexile_idr</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>:anarchoheart2: OutOfExile_IDR</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fediblock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediblock</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ableism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>homophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>misogyny</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/transphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transphobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InvisibleDisabilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InvisibleDisabilities</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bigotry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bigotry</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hate</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>education</span></a> is a terrible thing to waste.<br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/actuallyautistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>actuallyautistic</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/disability" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>disability</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/disabilityjustice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>disabilityjustice</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://newsmast.community/@disabledvoices" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>disabledvoices</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@Vivaldi" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Vivaldi</span></a></span> @OutOfExileIDR@ </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@OutOfExileIDR" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>OutOfExileIDR</span></a></span></p>
