And their work schedules office hours (because who are we kidding, they do no work).

Oh, that really sucks. Is it something the devs might be implementing at some point, or does no one else generally mind?

This way you can technically still go there if you need to look but zap just the number.

If I zap with ublock, I assume the icon will be gone? In that case how do I check notifications if I do want to?

Also, would there be any way to diferenciate notifications from replies vs DMs? Because I'd still like to be able to see one (DMs), but could go my entire life without getting another of the other.

Sorry, but it’s just upsetting when someone takes what you say out of proportion to fit their own point of view or whatever

Literally just asking you to clarify, and get you to think critically about why you phrase things the way you did.

If you don't want either to happen, try doing them yourself first.

Edit to add: As for the actual point: all capitalism is bad, by only framing late stage capitalism as a problem (which is what you do when you take the time to come back and diferenciate it in a comment about capitalism being bad), you make it seem as if "regular" capitalism is fine, and that all we need to do is roll back to those good old days before it started impacting you.

You had it right the first time, and yet you took the time to come back and "correct" yourself, so you obviously thought it was an important enough distinction to make, when all it does it normalise "regular" capitalism, which is entirely self defeating, and why I've even bothered trying to get you to think critically about your comment instead of just disregarding you as a capitalism bootlicker.

Don't want to think critically? That's your choice. But at least take responsability for your own words.

the bell icon

But they do, so I'll ask again - what are you people who think there is any value in differentiating different "kinds" of capitalism clinging on to?

If this is what it takes to push you away, it was never about being an ally in the first place, but about stroking your own ego.

You need to tell your story, we need to give space and listen.

Lmfao, not how it works, labour digger.

Edit just to clarify: Millions of people have already written about their lived experience of oppression (as a disabled person, as a queer person, as a Black person, as a Muslim, as a Jew, as every. single. marginalised group out there), you people don't get to demand a personalised education from every marginalised person you come across, we don't owe you shit especially when you won't even open a search engine and make the most basic effort to learn for yourself.

If that is the extent of your support, maybe don't bother.

Your commentary here is poisonous enough to bother me

Then I guess your "allyship" is more about your ego than it is about the people you're using as a debate tool and a trophy.. ¯(ツ)/¯

I'll take that over being a piece of shit bigot.. ¯(ツ)/¯

I recognize I have no horse in the race,

Then perhaps take the opportunity to sit down, shut up, and listen to those who do? Or are you convinced that your privilege makes you more informed than we are about our own situation and needs?

Just wanted to make sure people knew I was referring to late-stage capitalism

I'll ask you again - what are you clinging to? Why do you have to specify? Why do you think "regular" capitalism is worth defending?

Why the edit? What are you clinging on to?

I can't think of one off hand, but yours (E: and several of the replies) made me lol, thanks 😂

Why not both? 🤷‍♀️

I feel like the two groups are close to a circle in a Venn diagram - privileged people there to make it about themselves (in the form of self aggrandization and claiming non-existent victimhood and marginalisation) rather than about the marginalised people they claim to support (and only do superficially and entirely conditionally).

That sucks. It's bigotry and then gaslighting, and then on top of it all we're somehow to blame for them being that way because we're not eternally grateful and fawn all over them for reluctantly giving us the barest of bare minimum decency and respect, and therefor leave them no choice (in their eyes of course).

Thank you so much for diving in to the cesspit, I knew there would be some push back, there always is, but I didn't think it'd get this bad (and I have a lot of these people blocked already, so I can only imagine, because I'm not going to look, not today satan!). Sorry you have to spend your time dealing with the mess! 😩

I am not interested in leading anyone, and my life, and the lives of marginalised people in general aren't a fucking educational opportunity. We are not obligated to invest endless time and energy, which we are already deprived of due to having to fight just to exist, to earn that right to exist from those more privileged than us.

If they genuinely want to be good allies, literally all they have to do is open a search engine and start looking through the endless information that already exists out there and start from there, instead of demanding it be spoon fed directly too them by the people directly impacted (and therefore fatigued), especially after they've shown zero initiative or interests in educating themselves.

Oh yeah, because your support of marginalised people is exactly like our gender, or any other immutable characteristic we get oppressed and even murdered for, well done!!! We should have realised all along - it's the privileged people who get to look at our oppression from the side line and decide whether to support our right to exist depending on how nice we were to them, who are the real victims here!!! (heavy fucking /s)

What's next, you gonna come out with your own "blue lives matter" - "ally lives matter"??

Fucking pathetic, but hey, thanks for adding yet another example of exactly the kind of person this post is talking about.

You are not an ally to anyone but your own fragile little ego,
