They need our support! ​​

The best thing Yahoo ever did was called Pipes, and needless to say the company starved and then killed it.

Read this superb history by @glennf to understand what we had, and lost.

Current* conditions in St Ignace, MI:

i could make it my job to contact each instance owner who has blocked berserker.town on what i find to be very thin evidence and confront them with the block.

"what evidence do you have of poor moderation? we have had a handful of users who turned out to be troublemakers, but we get VERY VERY few reports. most of you have blocked us, on behalf of all your users, without even checking."

to be honest, the moderation on platforms like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter is more responsible and nuanced than what i'm seeing on many Mastodon instances.

i don't think this is working too well. too many control freaks with power fantasies.

I think I have achieved a permanent state of exasperation. Only took 6 years and a global authoritarian movement with its dirt dumb cult members setting up headquarters here in the U.S.

“Poisoning the blood of the country”, when used in reference to immigrants from South America, Africa, and Asia, is without any doubt an overtly racist phrase.

We all know Mr. Trump is a racist jerk, but in case it wasn’t clear after summer 2020, anyone supporting him now is also a racist pig.

Rudy Giuliani lawyer.🤣 🤣 🤣

"Buy more, save more"?

Bullshit!

Buy nothing, save 100%!

This shit show keeps getting shittier.

Rundown of events:

1. A cyclist is hit and killed in full daylight by the driver of a black pickup, in Salem Oregon.
2. It is revealed that the driver who killed the cyclist was an on-duty DEA agent embedded in the Salem police department, so the case is handed over to Keizer PD to investigate.
3. Camera footage reveals the driver (DEA agent) was speeding on a residential street, ran a stop sign when he hit the cyclist, who had the right of way and was coming down a steep hill. Driver stopped but did not aide the dying cyclist.
4. Driver is indicted for negligence, arrested, released on bail.
5. Latest development: lawyer for the defendant (DEA agent) petitioned to have the case held in federal court, because he could use law enforcement immunity as a defense in federal but not Oregon state court.
5. Prosecutors say that the agent was NOT actively pursuing a suspect or about to intervene in a drug deal.
So they're saying that simply being a DEA officer is enough to be allowed to do this. Seriously it's DEA policy that agents are allowed to break traffic laws, and they argue that means they can't have consequences for hitting and killing a person.
Fuck the #DEA.

It just occurred to me that in 1945 a lot of people on this planet were not happy to see the nazis defeated. And here we are.
