In searching for an instance to join, I noticed that many do not mention ableism in their ToC. I care about avoiding ableist language, so I picked one that did mention it.

I do notice quite a bit of ableist language in the larger fediverse, so decided to write a blog post of common objections to avoiding ableist language, and my responses to them.

Here it is: https://medium.com/@kavanaram/avoid-ableist-language-394f48fcc473

#Disability#Ableism #AbleistLanguage @disability

Case in point, from the mastodon servers page:

Does not mention ableism as also relevant for server moderation.
