    @mattblaze@federate.social It’s often challenging to distinguish dogwhistling from “just making a comment”.

    I was reacting to the commentary more than the photo. And from Australia, where we get a lot of “look at this ghastly blight” discussion of wind farms. Hence the reminder that visual pollution might be annoying but air pollution kills and maims.

    I suspect your mental context was “this is a cool photo” but “conquering the landscape” isn’t a positive or even neutral framing.

      @moz@fosstodon.org I wish you luck in your future efforts to save yourself from the embarrassment of making completely unwarranted assumptions.

        @mattblaze@federate.social I obviously misunderstood your comment as a request for explanation. I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m sorry for doing that…
