There is ableism somewhere at the heart of your oppression, no matter what your oppression might be

BTW, this is similar to the core concepts of complimentary holism, as summarized here

One of the things that it's missing, as per one of its primary texts, Liberating Theory:

Is inclusion of disability and ableism

The Only Surviving Text Written in Arabic by an American Slave Has Been Digitized & Put Online.

It also puts people in a position where it's challenging not to escalate conflicts, unless they have experience and/or useful training in conflict resolution.

BTW, a lot of left "conflict resolution" doesn't really work, because it either presumes opt-in for unwritten ethical codes, or is way too easy to weaponize as a means to escalate things further.

Something that you might not know about on here is that a lot of us pushed hard for this place to be dogpiling-free.

Ever since the influx of new users over the summer, that's been getting lost.

It's really important to get the difference between community self-defense and dogpiling. Especially since a lot of users on corporate social media seem to think they're the same thing, which is *not* true.

So rather than learn the social habits on here around dogpiling, "reply guying" and so on, they port over their habits.

There may not be such a thing as "masto culture", but this place does have shared rules. All groups do, that's social dynamics.
