Just wanted to chime in on behalf of TechHub Moderation.

H1B Holders are PEOPLE, not policy.

Simply being against the POLICY of issuing #H1Bvisas is not something we can do anything about as moderators: discussion of immigration law is protected political speech, and legitimate conversation. However, it is NOT ok for anyone to attack #H1B Holders themselves, and especially not to refer to them as "H1Bs".

H1B holders are just workers trying to get by, following the rules and getting a legal #visa through legitimate means. Even if the government is issuing too many, and even though companies will always try to exploit them, these people do not have power here and this is in no way their fault.

"They" are not "actively harming" anyone. The System is.

Hate Speech against H1B holders themselves, or ANY group of #immigrants, is not allowed on TechHub, or the mainstream Fediverse in general, and will be dealt with accordingly.

Just wanted to make that clear.

On the more specific topic of forced birth, I also have this earlier (2009) piece, "I am not Pro-Slavery. Are you?"

I like this insight, trying to put these individual issues into a more organized picture. I think Journalism needs to do more of this. Too much we cover each action and indignity as if it were some surprise, isolated, modular incident that is unrelated to all others. In doing so, we don't get the big picture. There is a LOT of that going on these days.

This work also resonates with an essay I wrote in 2012, "Language Defines Our Lives". It had gone offline when Salon magazine's Open Salon forum was retired, but it's available via the magic of the Internet Archive. I think you'll find it interesting and relevant.

@shantini #Neeva was a good search engine. It's such a shame that it's gone now.
I haven't decided on a replacement as of now. At the moment I'm trying #BraveSearch and it seems solid with its own search index.
I don't really trust companies that build crypto stuff in their browser though.

My problem with #Nona and also #Kagi is, I can't just use them in incognito tabs without being logged in
