I like to put a note on a profile when I block that person, so today when I saw someone quote a blocked account, I was able to see the reason for blocking them was: "one of those useless fools who thinks using *just* is some kind of crime". Yeah, I had to block someone for coming after me for using the word *just* in a way that infuriated them. I suppose they think the word is forbidden since it can sometimes be used/heard as a microagression. People have some very stupid ideas about how language works. But at least it's easy to block them.
The miracle of the internet is that it gives everyone a voice. And the tragedy of the internet is that it gives everyone a voice.

@joshsusser@autistics.life Oh, was it me? I do tend to link people to "justsimply . dev" every once in a while, but usually only in reference to technical documentation where it *is* a microaggression - albeit an entirely unintentional verbal tic form of one.
