"The group’s core values are simply peer support so that people with a horribly stigmatized identity have a safe space to share good times and bad times – and an environment that doesn’t allow illegal behavior." buff.ly/3kVoAW9

Could we actually see FOSTA's downfall soon?!?

Signs are at least good that the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit might strike down the 2018 law that targets sex work ads & chilled a whole host of speech reason.com/2023/01/18/appeals-

Twitter used to have a group called the Global Escalations Team, acting as a check on power at the top of the company. It could even overrule execs. But the group has folded; employees told us Irwin and Musk can no longer be challenged through a formal process.

"This article was written just over two years ago, but the truths in it are very relevant in today’s culture wars where the LGBTQ+ community is accused of “grooming,” and the harshest insult conservative moralists can think of is “pedophile.”" buff.ly/3kVoAW9

Neurotypicals are so utterly stupid. We should eliminate them.

It won't stop at sex-work either.

If SCOTUS obliterates #Section230 in Gonzalez v. Google, we can expect a similar fate for many other online safe havens for minority interests.

This is what happens when lawmakers recklessly enact Internet regulations targeted at 'big tech.'

Multi-billion $ corps aren't the ones that must endure. It's the smaller, sometimes decades-old, forums / communities that will suffer utter carelessness.

This isn’t a sex trafficking ring, it’s adult industry workers being framed by cops. The uproar would be hellacious if taxpayers found out their dollars were being used for stings between consenting adults, so they lie and say these adults have been trafficked. twitter.com/darafaye/status/16

I scheduled this post with Buffer 😎

Excited to be able to schedule Mastodon posts in advance now.

I'm someone who has all of my ideas at once and then I don't want to send them all out in that 10 min period.

Enter @buffer.

I'm happy to share that Mastodon scheduling within Buffer is now available for all! 🐘 🚀

We've been beta testing with our community for the past couple of weeks, and the reception has been incredible. 🙏

We're grateful for the warm welcome to the fediverse, and we're participating here with curiosity and an appetite to learn. This is a special place and we're building with the uniqueness of this platform in mind. ✨

I'm thrilled to officially announce that as of today, @buffer supports Mastodon as a channel!

Mastodon's approach to social is something that's deeply aligned with Buffer's vision: it's community driven and organic.

A few weeks ago, I genuinely knew nothing about the fediverse, Mastodon or this new approach to creating online, social communities. A big thank you to our customers who gave us feedback on why we should add Mastodon, which empowered us to move quickly to be able to support this.

A buried lede in last week's @CommonSenseMedia report on young people's experience with adult content — less than a third of parents are using even basic filtering on devices or home internet. Would love to see how that breaks out demographically.

Just in case you needed further proof that the conservative obsessions with simultaneously treating children like property and accusing others of "grooming", has nothing to do with "protecting" children.

It's about control, indoctrination, and brainwashing: twitter.com/daithaigilbert/sta

Why is a human rights-centered approach ideal for keeping kids safe? It lets us recognize and address the additional risks faced by children who are members of marginalized groups, including higher rates of suicidality, mental health issues, and abuse targeting these children.

Based on some of the comments I’ve seen recently, a little refresher:
• porn isn’t inherently harmful
• nudity isn’t inherently sexual
• bdsm isn’t inherently abusive
• inherently (adverb): in a permanent, essential, or characteristic way
