I'm like just coming up on ableist language & trying to rebuild my daily word choices to not include it - and holy fuck do alot of us do a terrible job.

Can someone whip up an ableist language bot that just points it out when we do a boo-boo?

No scolding, no shaming, - just a bot that points it out with a simple reply. Hell, "hey my ableism detector is going off" and have it rotate through with some loving positive messages.

I think alot of us would be surprised at how much we could grow in this department

    Yeah I kind of don't like the idea of associating it with stupidpol though, like my goal is to be as absolutely inoffensive as possible - saying "your content belongs @ stupidpol" although correct, seems liable to make folks defensive or provoke that sort of mental defense mode.

    I'd really love for it to be an entirely positive message - strictly pointing it out and ideally just saying something kind & loving. I swear that provokes better response in people. It's so much better to just avoid the defense response entirely IMO

      You’re right, Ofc. It’d just be a good bit.
