This is worth delurking for.
A ficus-lover on the forums for iNaturalist (where people crowdsource identifications of nature pics) is clearly brain-poisoned by LW or their ilk, and perforce doesn’t understand why the bug-loving iNat crew don’t agree that
inaturalist should be a market, so that our preferences, as revealed through our donations, directly influence the supply of observations and ids.
Personally, I have spent enough time on iNat that I can identify a Rat when I see one.
I can’t capture the glory of this in a few pull quotations; you’ll have to go there to see the batshit.

also, could you imagine being this fucking embarrassing? “a post I didn’t immediately understand appeared on my screen so instead of looking any of the words up I decided to be a gigantic fucking asshole instead” did you expect applause for coming in here and shitting on the carpet?
I swear all those fuckers are like “I was 4 rooms over but just heard the word ‘paprika’ being screamed from someone over this way. time for you to hear all about my bowel issues, in detail! you wouldn’t believe what happens if I smell onions”, but at a conference as a lightning talk to the main hall
This is what happen to that woman who got her phd, got phd, shitheads didnt get the technical terms on the title of her paper, didnt understand it what it was about so they threw it into the rightwing sexism culture war machine. So she got a lot of harassment (at least this also broke harassment containment so later she also got a lot of positive reactions). All feeds/weak bubble social media is a mistake.
