Oh are they the Trojans by any chance :)
I have -rewritten this blog post as a result of the general comments by
@atomicpoet
about mentioning Fediverse rather than just Mastodon.
So that I make more mention of the fediverse rather then simply just mastodon. Hopefully it will help promote fedi moire.
If you are going to share the infographic feel free to grab the list of hashtags to include as part of the alt-text here., so we can help with accessibility
I agree fully, with all this action, and pre-emptive action, we are learning and developing our knowledge and understanding, so we can work really well together to develop solutions, one size won't fit all so we can develop a range of solutions that will work in different situations.
Now, to be fair to mastodon.social we also have a spammer issue at SDF - but the difference is we try to keep an eye on new accounts and act to ban them pre-emptively if they clearly intend to enroll to spam.
On the other hand, the more the Fediverse will grow and the more these issues will become pressing. Maybe now is the time to start putting together solutions that are more robust and much, much more protective of all users.
Boost if you agree - I welcome any and all input on this. [2/2]
The war on trans people continues
Indiana just signed their version of “don’t say gay” into law
Indiana ranks 43rd in the nation in education
42nd in the nation for mental health
0 help for opioid addiction
So, what is Indiana’s priority?
To forcibly out transgender students and block all other mention of LGBTQ issues
H.B. 1608 requires school officials to provide written notification to a child’s parent within 5 days of the child asking to be called a different “pronoun, title, or word”
Is there an updated fediverse banner for 2023 such as the one below ?
Joe Biden has delivered the strongest and broadest jobs comeback in history:
• 12.7 million jobs added
• Lowest unemployment rate in 50 years
• Record low unemployment for Black workers
• Median wages outpacing inflation over past year

Indeed, the alternatives to Biden are awful, what I also like about biden is that he seems to speak quietly , sure he makes mistakes or needs a crib sheet but we are all human, so can connect with that.
Trump sees the Tory Party as an ally too, so when they get wiped out at the GE 2024, if trump or the GOP win they may not have many friends in the Labour party.

As a community we have spent years building what we want from social media, I have little idea what bluesky is, I don't care as I am sticking with Fedi, esp as my blog, peertube account and mastodon account are part of something much bigger.

Well I just hope by 2024 people wake up to what is going on and get out of their bubble and do the right thing. I think the local elections in the UK have shown that is happening here, come 2024 the tories should hopefully lose, and lose badly. Hopefully then the next party to rule this place may actaully do a better job.
I agree, the admins and work tirelessly to do this are doing a fantastic job, so they deserve a big Thank you, for keeping the network free of spam and helping users protect themselves from unwanted content / contact.
Keep up the good work.

This is the issue with mainstream social media too, lots of arm chair 'experts' shouting their opinion as to what happened, followed by an equally useful army of people boosting those posts.
This ends up with a narrative with little merit, somehow becoming the main truth narrative.
But yeah, we should not be speculating until there is some substance behind why something happened.
