Attached: 1 image No the melonhead hasn't said anything too extravagant of late (by his standards). What we're seing here is likely the #Automattic combined #Wordpress + #Tumblr effect, and I don't know if #Medium are already running tests too. We may cross the imaginary barrier of 10 million earlier than expected if this rate of adoption holds. #Mastodon #fediverse #mastodev

Media just will not stop using the term "culture wars." Culture wars may be disputes about spaghetti or burgers for dinner. What the media misnames and often conscously trivializes as supposed "culture wars" are, in fact, the attack on human rights, authoritarianism, and the renewed enforcement of outright discrimination. There is nothing "both sides" about this, and it is not a question of cultural heritage or personal taste.
