Please remember that discussing pregnancy or contraception on Insta, Facebook, or Threads is dangerous to all involved; Meta eagerly collaborates with law enforcement.

If helping somebody circumvent state-level bans on reproductive care, I highly recommend using Tor and other digital privacy tools.

I know everyone is used to faceless mods or a bot dealing with reports, but it's different here. On this Instance (and many others) the mods reading reports come from diverse backgrounds, including socially and/or historically marginalised peoples with lived experiences of standing up against hate and prejudice.

Which means, mods on Mastodon are constantly reading and discussing reports about posts with content that has real impacts on them. It might just be words to whoever is posting them (and to be frank, it is often centralists and self-proclaiming liberals/left). But for many mods, these posts often represent the oppression, trauma, violence and otherising that we survive on a daily basis.

So please think of the real people dealing with reports. Who know what they are doing, and are committed to making Mastodon an inclusive space. And please - reflect on what impact your edgy posts might have on others.

This is increasingly how it feels, when streaming shows disappear for tax reasons and things you "own" digitally become inaccessible.

Thank you @Illuminatus for this quote.

Look at this frog, just look at it. It's glorious.
