It's so beautiful to see masses of people switch to Mastodon / the fediverse. Big hope feels.

Today marks 1 week since I started using Mastodon. It is honestly so I'll media utopia we are all living. I'm glad I joined when I did..... I don't know if (or when) this place will turn into hell but.... Im glad I'll be able to say I've lived throught the best of its days..🌺 🌹
Also, I'm sure all of us here don't agree with each other a 💯. But I'm glad many chose to simply ignore toots they don't agree with/ find stupid.
I don't know it's its the layout which doesn't tempt you to "call out"

okay what about a web app that generates how someone looks based off of the text that they write

e.g.
"blah blah blah m'lady" -> fedora
"puniqtqtqt! : blobcat :" -> anime pfp
"jotaro says trans rights" -> trans pfp
"taxation is theft" -> aviator pfp

just like in that one meme

In the beginning I created the heaven and the earth.

It's pretty much been downhill from there.

Speaking of...

Here is some calligraphy I did a while back of the word "minimum" written so its the same upside down and reversed as it is right side up.

Not perfect I should try it again.

IMPORTANT:

I just dropped the tick ✅ from my handle here on Mastodon. Here's why...

Consider your options when deciding on home surveillance. Allowing audio and video recordings to be uploaded to a centralized server can allow intruders (#hackers, #google, #amazon, #governments, #police) access to your home, circumventing the protection you originally hoped for.

#Privacy matters.
#Freedom matters.

Be part of the solution to end #surveillance #capitalism.

This was inevitable. Such activities will continue—and escalate—until states move to ban the commercial trade in digital weapons. This criminal model of business effects everyone, everywhere. It produces only harm. t.co/dk6UsMkmd5

"Just one set of numbers, from the University of California, Berkeley, economist Gabriel Zucman:

The 400 richest Americans — the top .00025 percent of the population — now own more of the country’s riches than the 150 million adults in the bottom 60 percent of wealth distribution. The 400’s share has tripled since the 1980s."

watching a (non-fediverse) volunteer moderation team spin its wheels for a very long time as people slowly get burned out

volunteering emotional labor is hard. doing it in an environment dominated by hand-wringing and inaction where you feel dis-empowered to effect change is 10 times harder. doing it when some of the userbase wants to kill people like you and gets to stick around anyway is 10 times harder again

only solutions i can come up with are radical decentralization of online spaces fediverse-style, or making moderation paid (w/ good mental health benefits). neither are good solutions for large traditional (non-decentralized) volunteer comms systems
