She was in fact, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/deaf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deaf</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/blind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blind</a>, due to a <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/measles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#measles</a> infection when she was a baby, a known potential injury from it which drives the push for <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vaccines</a>. She was a major proponent of the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disability</a> inclusion, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Feminist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Feminist</a>, and general <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilRights</a> movements of the early to mid 1900s. She is a major figure among <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/marginalized" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#marginalized</a> groups.Claims from the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#History</a>-<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/skeptic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#skeptic</a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AntiVax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiVax</a>, 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...<a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=8ch_H8pt9M8" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/watch?v=8ch_H8pt9M8</a><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ableist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableist</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediAbleism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAbleism</a>

Raccoon🏳️‍🌈After seeing how <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediAntisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAntisemitism</a> 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 <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Moderation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moderation</a> issues we see on the <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a>.I propose we start using the tags <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediRacism</a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediQueerphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediQueerphobia</a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediTransphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediTransphobia</a>, and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediAbleism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediAbleism</a> 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 <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Queerphobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Queerphobia</a> fast to protect their users from <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Harassment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Harassment</a>)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 <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FediBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediBlock</a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/InstanceBlock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstanceBlock</a> 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?

:mima_rule: Mima-samaThis 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, <a href="https://mastodon.social/@ErickaSimone/113529271124588601" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">pulling the race and gender card</a> when <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@tothedaring/113528379752067269" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">called out</a> on it just because the person who challenged the post happens to be a white man <a href="https://makai.chaotic.ninja/tags/ableism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://makai.chaotic.ninja/tags/fediableism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediableism</a> RE: <a href="https://mastodon.social/users/ErickaSimone/statuses/113527681698818580" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/users/ErickaSimone/statuses/113527681698818580</a>
