Por eso, te invito a que entiendas a Mastodon antes de juzgar como se hacen las cosas aquí. Por ejemplo

1. En Mastodon se respeta la privacidad. Por lo tanto doxear o publicar datos personales cualquier tipo está muy mal visto.

2. En Mastodon respetamos el derecho de las personas a elegir quien los lee. Por eso las capturas de toots de terceros nos repulsan.

3. En Mastodon intervenir en una conversación ajena es normal. Nadie se enoja por eso, porque si quisieran que la conversación fuera privada la hubieran iniciado así.

4. La estructura federada de la red hace que las denuncias en masa a un usuario no funcionen. Si lo echan de una instancia, se va a otra. No seas garca y no hagas esas mierdas. Si alguien te desagrada, sólo bloquealo.

5. La federación hace muy fácil construir espacios seguros. Cualquier instancia puede bloquear a usuarios o instancias que considere repulsivos. Pero tené cuidado, su sos muy purista te podés quedar solo o rodeado de personas iguales a vos.

I seldom listen to #audiobooks, but during a phase when I was doing a long commute twice a week the were invaluable - I listened to classics that I would not have otherwise had time for, i.e. Paradise Lost, Canetrbury Tales, etc.

But the best of the lot was The Prince (Machiavelli) which was read by Ian Richardson (at the time fresh from House of Cards) so well that even though I actually knew the book, I gained greater insight than before - just brilliant

Incendiary Speech That Spurs Violence is Rising in US, But Tools Exist to Shrink It https://bit.ly/3tPsMru

Electronic mail is so confusing. Why do I need to choose a provider and how do I get even decide? And once I have an address, how do I find my friends’ addresses and send them letters? Will I only be able to send letters to people using the same provider?

Trying to work out what the good kinds of allyship are in a federated place.

It's already obvious that the responsibility of dealing with toxic/racist/ableist/sexist environments is being pushed to the people affected by them.

If you're creating a toxic space and gatekeeping norms, now is a good time to stop doing that and have some grace when you're called out.

But that's not enough.

Imagine being a "free speech absolutist" publicly firing people who exercise free speech. 🙄

#introduction Hello world! 👋🏼 I’m a community ecologist, scientific illustrator, and educator passionate about social justice in STEM. ✊🏼 I also #LiveSketch conference talks, so give me a follow if you want to see beautifully illustrated 🎨🖌️ science 🧬🔬🧪!

In case you missed it, here's last week's comic illustrating the history of #Twitter in four panels:

"It's a terrible thing,
I think,
in life to wait until you're ready.
I have this feeling now
that actually no one is ever ready to do anything.
There is almost no such thing as 'ready'.
There is only 'now'."

I wonder if many of the new members of the Fediverse, for whom this might be their first conscious experience of #FOSS, will a) compare the polish on various Fediverse apps unfavourably to those they used to use for Twitter, & then b) think of that old story about the pigs marvelling at how well the farmer fed and looked after them... Noting that, c) Twitter probably had 1000-10000 times more $ invested in it than the Fediverse, by folks expecting massive returns.

With #FOSS, I'm always struck by how much is achieved for so vanishing little financial investment. Usually it's just someone who wants to try out an idea... and maybe improve their software development chops. I'm not aware of many (or any!) FOSS projects that started with a financial motive. At most, they seem content with sustainability.
