#FactCheck #PSA to get ahead of some #Misinformation...
#HellenKeller was a real, #Historical figure. She was in fact, #deaf and #blind, due to a #measles infection when she was a baby, a known potential injury from it which drives the push for #Vaccines. She was a major proponent of the #Disability inclusion, #Feminist, and general #CivilRights movements of the early to mid 1900s. She is a major figure among #marginalized groups.
Claims from the #History-#skeptic, #AntiVax, and White Supremacist movements that she is fictional are false: she was a real person who actually lived, with extensive news reports and official documents of her exploits, including meeting presidents Cleveland and Johnson, and we have a whole archive of videos about her. The movie about her is based on the historically accurate story of her childhood.
You can see a video of Hellen Keller on her nonprofit foundation's channel at...

After seeing how #FediAntisemitism can be useful as a tag (not getting into the issue of false positives on it), I'd like to see something like that for other #Moderation issues we see on the #Fediverse.
I propose we start using the tags #FediRacism, #FediQueerphobia, #FediTransphobia, and #FediAbleism when posting about examples of those things.
This will have three major uses...
1) Serve as a more specific warning to instances that are actively trying to protect themselves against those things. (eg, Black or Queer instances that need to spot #Racism and #Queerphobia fast to protect their users from #Harassment)
2) Give us a more direct way to track these issues on the network at large, and thus collect data on them.
3) Provide a more granular tagging for #FediBlock and #InstanceBlock posts.
I would like to say all this with the disclaimer that these tags always have false positives, so I encourage people to check the receipts before they block.
What are people's thoughts on this?

This is some disgusting ableist shit lol. Didn't even try to mince words; just went straight to "mental retardation". This is the "inclusiveness" the left is championing? :reimu_sigh:
And of course, pulling the race and gender card when called out on it just because the person who challenged the post happens to be a white man
