[3 different thumbnails given to you randomly. All have words in yellow text. One says "explaining ableist language" another has "intro to ableist language" and one says "what is ableist language?". They are all next to the disabled pride flag and on a digital art wooden background with a grey table in the bottom left corner]

actual title is: Ableist language - a basic introduction

i think it does a disservice to remove that key word “ableist” from the title here :)

I mean look, its already being downvoted with this milquetoast title

my trans shit was downvoted too

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

of course i don’t have communication with those who downvoted, but my knee jerk worry is the downvotes were due to the nonspecificity of the title. not sure of course but that is my thought.

I posted another video on ableism and it got over 10 downvotes and it was much more specific in the title

as a queer disabled person, progressive spaces are far from ones I feel safe in.

Have you considered posting to a Blahaj community? They trend toward being much more accepting.

I tried to make an account there and was denied, so I think somebody else will have to for me lol

Anyone can post there as long as your instances are federated.
