RE: https://mastodon.social/@lisamelton/116405659033229573 Overall response to this post was positive and resulted in some useful discussions about how to customize our feeds here on Mastodon. Which is exactly what I hoped. Thank you, awesome friends! 💖 Of course, some took exception to me using "jackhole techbro" to describe another person. I stand by what I wrote so I won't bother defending it. I will, however, point out that it was extremely useful in identifying the few jackhole techbros in my replies. There is a method to my madness. Always. 😊

@lisamelton did not know of the jackhole term before. Seems apt

@lisamelton Nice. “The only people who are mad about this post are in it,” as I’m fond of saying when I post something that causes perpetrators to self-identify through their disagreement.

@lisamelton I mean, it’s insulting to the unassuming usefulness of jackholes, which at least aren’t gross even after thorough scrubbing, unlike techbros. Be kinder to jackholes, Lisa, there’s no reason to insult them. 💅

@lisamelton you knighted me for a reason, I will drive a lance up their bungholes in your defense!

@lisamelton They are big mad because you didn't specify American or European "jackhole techbro". They hate to be confused. They have different hair styles and sunglasses and everything. But otherwise, no lies detected.
