And it's clear when you look at these #ReplyGuy accounts, they are just some pro-war accounts. All they write about is the Ukraine war and how great the west is.

And they accuse others of posting propaganda! Their accounts are so niche, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't people from MOD or the Pentagon.

What's hilarious is that they don't even read the articles you post. They just swim about the #Fediverse #GateKeeping certain hashtags.

So we all agree to be welcoming to anyone coming from Twitter now, right? We won't be sanctimonious privileged douchecanoes telling them they're not Mastodoing correctly, right?

2022 and some of 2023 showed plenty of gatekeeping assholery in line with early 2000s Linux forums. Let's not do that anymore.

Thank you, rant complete.

#dearai I would like a model that takes all the endless data about "the housing market", _including_ the pictures and comments and "socials" about the property and predicts the sale price.

And #disrupt the #gatekeeping somehow hopefully.

#HousingCrisis
#AffordableHousing
#AIforGood
#HousingReform
#ChangeTheMarket
#BrokenHousing
#HousingFix
#HomeownershipHurdles
#MarketDisruption

(and also #dearai automate the selection of hashtags...having to #copypasta everything.)

"SHORT KING" IS ONLY AN APPROPRIATE SOBRIQUET FOR A CORGI NAMED HENRY IX. #GATEKEEPING

#Gatekeeping : What It Is and Why It Hurts Heavy #Music

Things I've used that previously got me labeled "not a real programmer"

Visual Basic
SQL strings
ORMs
C#
Rails
JavaScript
Windows
macOS
Excel macros
IDEs

There will always be some bullshit gatekeeping to keep the entrenched feeling safe. Don't let them do it to you.

Why, when you go to the gym as a bigger person, to get fit and loose weight are you then mocked by other (thinner) gym goers?

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve been told “go to the gym fatty!” and yet when I do, I get told “go home and eat a burger.”

If your goal is to encourage people to be healthy and exercise, maybe be less of a turd to those attempting to do just that. #randomthoughts #healthy #gym #gatekeeping

I have an appointment on Friday with a new therapist I know nothing about, who was basically thrown at me by being “in network” (thanks, shitty insurance).

I don’t even want to attend. Just another cis person I’ll have to justify myself to, retread all the same backstory I’ve repeated so many times it sounds like someone else’s.

So I’ll be treating it like a job interview, one where I’m doing the hiring. I’m sure that will in no way backfire. 🙄 #trans #gatekeeping

@chopaganda @deadbeef I thought it was about stolen valor and gatekeeping. #stolenvalor #gatekeeping

And, in general, I think there's more than a whiff of #gatekeeping / #ToxicMasculinity around music gear and software that ease of use is equated with being non-pro or somehow kiddified.

No.

Music gear needs to *get out of the way* of the artists using it. We have ideas in our heads we want to realise, we haven't come to worship at your temple of arbitrary inconvenience.

I HATE all this macho bullshit. I want music creation to be FAR more accessible in every way.

Reluctant Gatekeeping: The Problem With Full Stack - Heydon

Utensil placement, usage, and other eating etiquette is nothing but an HOA for dining.

@phf My argument was not that people shouldn't have to come here specifically to be part of the community. It was that I have seen many people actively reject people who try to come here, or bitch about people who want to come here. That kind of #GateKeeping is, in fact, exclusionary, encourages #EchoChambers, and goes against the core things that drew me to Mastodon in the first place. I get the argument that @guffo is making though, as you can see by this thread. But my point still stands.

I enjoy this platform. I think people should be encouraged to come here. Therefore, I think #GateKeeping sucks. Communities that are #inclusive should not be condescending to people coming from elsewhere, because they were (or even are still) using platforms such as Twitter (no, I won't say "#BirdSite"), even if I refuse to use it). There's clearly a reason that they decided to come here. They're already converted. Be welcoming.

🤬 one of the quickest ways to make me decide against your product is #gatekeeping your #documentation.

Working on #troubleshooting some #network issues where the client is using Versa Network's SD-WAN and @#$%&! if they don't have it all locked down in Fort Knox.

(some training is available for free, but it is super basic...it's also all in audio/visual format when I'd much prefer #reading docs)

* Unfortunately, I don't get to pick what products clients use (sometimes)

Endlich, #Gatekeeping mal fuer einen guten Zweck

E' lo stesso Federighi che diceva "Sideloading is a cybercriminal’s best friend", "Sideloading undermines security and puts people’s data at risk", trascurando il fatto che i Mac funzionano molto bene da anni senza cyber catastrofi?

sooooo...... as you may have heard, Reddit is having a bit of a meltdown right now and folks in the subs I belong to are starting to ask about where they can go if everything goes dark permanently. Including folks in r/Fantasy.

I mentioned this instance as a place for the SFF community and a couple of people were like: ooo, can I get an invite?

Part of me thinks: lit nerds need good spaces! let 'em all in!
Part of me thinks: do I really want The Shop to turn into r/Fantasy?

🤔

#gatekeeping!
