fae/faer or she/her
A lover of fruit, fun and helping people out.
Not human so please do not refer to me as such or use any words relating to humanity when referring to me or if it’s intended to include me.
There was supposed to be goldfish, but I’m not sure what happened to it.
Yes and no.
Reclaiming a word can only be done by those who are affected by it negatively and it should always be used in a positive way by people attempting reclaiming, never negatively. I’ve seen no evidence of them doing this or of them ever being affected by that word negatively personally.
Also intent is not magical, it doesn’t absolve people of the hurt they cause by doing something, all it might do is explain they weren’t trying to be cruel, however that doesn’t magically absolve anyone of anything and if they carry on doing it regardless of hurting someone etc, then they show their intent was really not what they claim it was.
Even if that’s the case, that still makes it an immature name for what should be a serious project, because I doubt they’ve ever seriously engaged with the concept outside of them naming their project that, hey that’s an idea!
Like, I don’t mind fun. But as someone into kink too, the name of a project shouldn’t invoke anything to do with either ableism or BDSM, especially since kink is not understood by most people correctly, unless a project is related to kink in some way, or ableism (which I’m going to seriously be suspicious of your project and motivations unless you’re disabled and are reclaiming it) it’s still a very bad name that doesn’t really explain anything about it at a glance/first hearing it.
That would have been a good idea, but alas they think they have good reasons for not doing so. Which, they don’t as their argument isn’t really sound, but people have their strongly held convictions even if they’re incorrect especially when it comes to foss projects, lol.
Glad you have something else good to use!
Yeah. It could have done if some not very nice people hadn’t have attacked them constantly just because they didn’t like what they were trying to do.
What are you trying to prove here? They were asked to change it because it’s ableist and they said no because it’s funny. Giving me a definition does not refute that.
That’s great! Now if only they’d stop thinking disability is funny, they might have a program worth using!
There isn’t one.
Because none of them have all features.
My favourites however are Fractal for desktop and Fluffychat for mobile because they both allow for multiple accounts in one window/app and they look nice, and Fluffychat has features that make it more customisable.
