I really have to say, of all the mass exodus onto this server we had over the years, this is one of the best. the quality and kindness of our new users are absolution exceptional. I appreciate all of you and welcome to the sane part of the internet!

That's actually a great system. Just ask Boeing.

According to messages shared in Twitter Slack, Twitter’s CISO, chief privacy office, and chief compliance officer all resigned last night.

An employee says it will be up to engineers to “self-certify compliance with FTC requirements and other laws.”

@chancerydaily Well, he put this up on the greater web, and I’ve seen at least one oldbie who said we all need to read it: hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

Ugh... of course Quickbooks decides to roll out an interface overhaul that moves everything without improving on anything... and of course it doesn't even work on launch.

Tried watching 's new show about the last , especially because I like a number of the actors in it.

But they might as well just call it "Stereotypes: The Show".

It's *really* bad.

Well, once again, my neighbors have chosen an ignorant and bigoted culture war over responsible governance.

Incredible how far we've fallen in so few years.

I never would have thought that, in my lifetime, "grab 'em by the pussy" and "Disney are just a bunch of groomers" would be winning political slogans.

RT @LEBassett@twitter.com

Twitter, under Elon Musk's new "free speech" rules, has flagged a tweet sharing World Health Organization protocols for how to safely use abortion pills as "promoting self-harm" and suspended the user's account.

It still blows my mind that every major news network doing election coverage now has an extremely prominent role for "guy who knows how to work the touchscreen". 🤦‍♂️ 😂

Let's find out.

@LouisIngenthron yeah, qoto has a bunch of different features. btw, what happens when you quote? how does that show up for me?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but:

The only thing the news will be covering prior to like 9PM is worry and stress.

If you're watching the news before 7PM, you're a masochist, plain and simple.

Local business has a sign up saying they're offering limited service "until people want to work again."

They have no job postings up online.

That seems like an especially seedy way of saying "we refuse to pay a living wage and we're bitter that people want one".

It's really too bad, because this was a beloved local family-owned joint.

Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.

This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.

If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".

So #KeepFediWeird.

Okay, I'm not usually one for posts, but here goes:

I grew up in the very conservative American Midwest and then moved to on my 18th birthday.

I love building more than I love playing them. I started my career with working on their first game (what later became the UFC series). I've since gone indie and released two by myself: (store.steampowered.com/app/923), a big game still in Early Access, and (store.steampowered.com/app/174), a little game built around the idea of gameplay driving music. I also released a fun little demo for a while back called (lucidsilencegames.itch.io/grap)

I'm still building more games (and working on uFactory!) while paying the bills with drier work, hoping to eventually release a game that can grasp a chunk of the zeitgeist.

On here, I'll mostly be debating , (largely in the context of 's ), and general . My political leaning can most closely be described as "left-libertarian". I.e. Everyone deserves , consistent with the policy. I registered as a on January 7th, 2021.

Feel free to reach out. I'm happy to debate anyone in good faith.

Hey @freemo, are there any plans to replace the "toot" lingo on this instance with "publish" like they did with the official mobile apps?

I get that there's no algorithm in 's main feed, but it would be nice if favorites caused replies to bubble up to the top.

That would make it much easier to track interesting conversations like you could on Twitter.
