@piggo Being welcoming gives a good first impression and may set the tone for how people behave here.

@sean

Same here, i think we have built a culture here, we have had a good few years to do that.

@zleap @aurynn anyone who behaves like that is *very* quickly yeeted from much of the Fediverse - unless they set up their own instance with their own resources (and even then, they are liable to be pushed to the corners by limited federation if they don't behave decently)

@lps @sean @sj_zero @gretathunberg

Or simply make token gestures to convince us to care.

@zleap @sean @sj_zero @gretathunberg I totally agree, and would go so far as to say that battling to have our voices heard by the corps is a distraction and a waste of time.

What we should be doing is building the solutions we need ourselves.

Let's face it, they're not interested

The FAW official video for the World Cup includes a monster truck load of Welsh politics. A not exhaustive list of what it shows:

Treweryn
Gwynfor Evans
The Miners' Strike
The Betty Campbell statue
Protests over monolingual English only signs
and the '97 referendum result

@rozina @piggo @liaizon
Yes it was far better back then, I wonder if we could reboot usenet, gopher and other protocols so they support federation.

@zleap @piggo @liaizon i do hope that we all collectively go back to the internet of the 90's, especially for those who never got to experience it the first time round

Yeah, and as I sugested to @gretathunberg maybe we need have the confidence that we don't actually need corporates any more, with their profits before everything attitude.

Advice for new users, sometimes we tag CWs as "Meta," meaning content about the current controversy of the day on masto.

You may be wondering how you can tell the difference between meta commentary and meta the company, here is a handy way to tell the difference:
No one talks about the company.

Not to mention the much bigger world out there of open source and free software.

@Limerick1914 I agree so host local, for local people so they are run and used by the communities they serve.

@DaiTPAS I have some blog posts ready for the world cup, with fixtures etc, lets see if we can get it trending here,

For everyone here: I read there is a shortage of instances run by women admins. I know a few already, but I love to know more. I am one for one, but
vis.social/about/more and I thought mastodon.art/about/more is one too.
Mine i socialserver.science/about/mor and is mainly aimed at scientists and scientific visualizers.
Please boost!

If you're curious about #IceHockey then this could be a good place to start.

European hockey comes to Cardiff Bay 18 to 20 November 2022 as #CardiffDevils host the third round of the IIHF Continental Cup.

Day passes give you two matches for £20. Bargain!

So if any server admin types are interested, it should be pretty easy* to run an instance of my RSS to ActivityPub converter as a nice bonus for your users. It lets people with a login on your Mastodon or Hometown server create ActivityPub accounts that are mirrors of RSS feeds (process pictured in attachments). ONLY people with a login to your server can use it, because you don't want to moderate this service for randos

*easy for linux server administration, huge lmao
