  • “Why do members of this oppressed group side with oppressors” is a perennial question, like why are there so many Republican women when Republicans generally are anti-woman…

    The answer is usually something like, if you’re high on the totem pole in several ways the fact that you’re not high on the totem pole in all ways might not matter so much to you.

    If you’re rich, straight, cis, and male, but not white, you get a lot out of being rich and male and straight and cis, so you may support the group that protects the interests of rich, straight, male people, even though they might not be nice to black people, the fact that you’re on the same page on so many other axes means at least they’ll usually treat you OK cause you’re one of them in so many other ways.

    See also: middle class white cis straight women, or Log Cabin republicans, or whatever.

    Also: poor white straight cis men.







  • Just to be clear, which firefish server did you join?

    I just checked out the main server (firefish.social) and there wasn’t any transphobic content in the “Global” or “Local” section.

    I’m wondering if you ended up on a really toxic right-wing fediverse instance, that happens to use Firefish as its software, and so the Firefish main site stupidly/ignorantly listed it as a possible place to sign up. If that’s the case they need to get rid of it.





  • Most of mine I just move around with Syncthing and I use either the Firefox saving plugin (Timimi) or the iOS app Quine, to view/edit them.

    One of them I host on Tiddlyhost, a tiddlywiki hosting service. https://tiddlyhost.com/

    The modern Tiddlywiki, TW5, can be run as a node app instead of a single file. Like, you can decompose an existing single-file wiki into a node app, or you can save the node app as a single-file tiddlywiki, seamlessly. So you can just run the node app behind nginx. That leaves open the problem of privacy though – you could handle that through http basic auth in the nginx server. https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki%2520on%2520Node.js.html

    There’s also a whiz-bang super-cool thing called “TWBob” which is a webapp which can host multiple tiddlywikis and do authenticated multi-user editing (!). I’ve used it in the past where I had a wiki I needed multiple people to be able to see and edit in real time. https://github.com/OokTech/TW5-Bob

    Do you know whether your tiddlywiki is tiddlywiki “classic” (as the original is now called) or tiddlywiki 5? That makes a difference, classic doesn’t have nearly as many options as 5.
