@atomicpoet @Gargron it’s exactly the same as in everyday life.
Racists can write books. Racists can make websites. Racists can write news articles. Racists can make cartoons. Racists can make YouTube channels. Racists can own tv stations. Racists can go into politics.

Here’s the difference: WE can choose not to read, watch, listen, vote, amplify. Can’t do that in Big Social.

it SNOWED.

The world is melting, infrastructure is crumbling, facist regimes are on the rise, continuing education is more expensive than ever, there’s very few jobs that pay enough to even rent an apartment after college, let alone buy a home, and the queerest generation ever is seeing their identities legislated away by an increasingly out of touch oligarchy.

But sure… phones are why teenagers are depressed.

Cyclists are now the single largest mode of travel during peak times in London, according to a new report.

They represent 40% of traffic during peak hours and 27% of traffic throughout the day.

Since 1999, the number of motorists has dropped 64% and the number of cyclists has increased 386%.

Just uploaded a copy of a 101-level presentation I gave earlier this month.

Mastodon has such a wide and diverse culture.

I'm routinely in political discussions, humanities topics and various computery things. I am sometimes in photography topics, or maybe philosophy and arts. On occasion I'll see an amazing think piece or a new piece of learning that I can explore and dive into.
