I recently started a discussion within a FLOSS project about changing the term “blacklist” to “blocklist” to remove the connotation “black is bad”. Sadly, the usual political correctness discussion is about to escalate.
Is someone here aware of research or studies about such changes and the surrounding discussions? How can the discussions become more efficient towards reaching the goal (people accepting the terminology change)?
(I am on purpose not linking the concerned issue tracker)
@SpaceGeek Oeh, lekker! 😁
Someone please help and explain me the meaning of favouriting a toot. I'm still not sure what kind of meaning it leaves behind.
@Argus@mastodon.technology (cc @felix@radical.town @ephemeral ) - as per my first toot, I'm conflicted and not entirely sure myself. I had less problems if there was a simple public and visible statement acknowledging these issues and prioritizing them in order to prevent PeerTube from inciting any more hatred, violence, or causing harm.

Rediscovering the Small Web
"Today's web is mostly commercial. The smaller web of individuals has neither the resources nor the will to compete for visibility and audience the way the commercial web does"
Another great post by @neustadt - welcome to Mastodon by the way, a part of the new small web!
just noticed that my wordpress theme was still using fonts delivered by google. not anymore!
(if anybody has further advice on how to improve one's wordpress site, always welcome! 😊)
What I hate most about working remotely is how teams are gradually dehumanized, until your colleagues are just avatars you exchange tasks and work results with, because small talk, and body language are out of the picture.
Have you asked a colleague how they're doing today?
