proposed experiment to mess with the transphobic harassment scraper 

We've been discussing how the transphobic spammers are finding targets and a current hypothesis is that they're using a scraper to find the string "trans" in people's bios. For instance it seems I got on the list for having "translator" in my bio.

So if you want to try and prove or disprove this hypothesis and possibly mess up their scraper, I suggest putting the word "trans" somewhere in your bio. Since it's easier to adapt the scraper to get get around trans being part of a word (like "translator" or "transistor"), it might be helpful to add both the words "trans" and "transgender." Example sentences:

"I support transgender rights. Trans rights = human rights."

"I may not be trans but transgender hating script kiddies are too incompetent to tell the difference."

Obviously do this ONLY if you're okay with potentially getting on the trans list. If you don't want to receive spam I suggest turning off DMs and notifs from accounts you don't follow.

If we can't stop the harassment at its source yet, we might be able to dilute or grow the list past usefulness, and hide our trans friends through sheer numbers so they can't be as easily singled out.

tech gore 

@cdmnky oh the humanity, ATA-ZIF is so hard to procure as it is ;A;

If you could potentially be harmed or triggered in any way by images of violence and gore linked with the attacks on NB and trans fedi folk right now, I highly suggest you temporarily turn off notifications and DMs from people you don't follow. You can find these settings in your preferences under notifications at the very bottom.

Stay safe.

Bluh, I need a new keyboard. Multiple keys are sagging on this one and fuly half of the silkscreens have rubbed off on the letters

Anyone got recommendations for curve/split ergos on a low budget?

people need to relearn every once in a while that your spiritual practices need to be important to you using means and ideas that resonate with you. you pick up and keep what helps you and toss the rest. its not about a set practice of rituals you must adhere to OR else. do you want christians? thats how you get christians.

we're at the point in the pandemic when all the mystics have become jaded with their own tarot decks and people have decided that feral divination with fridge magnets, screaming, rotting leaves, and taco bell hot sauce packets are the way forward

@videogame_hacker@tech.lgbt who'd wear their most expensive outfit to work?

if you boil a funny bone, you make a laughing stock

the list 

@violet I found out about it secondhand so my instance admins are doing a great job already :'D

The #Meta plot thickens! Turns out that #Facebook doesn't actually own the name Meta because it belongs to another company that's currently in stealth mode.

That didn't seem to stop Facebook from publicly announcing the name change and branding, quite the Zuck move. :blobpopcorn:

Meta (the real one) have posted a public letter about this on their front page. I'm linking the Archive copy because the front page will be eventually replaced by an actual website:

#fediblock rakket.app - a user is literally compiling a list of trans users, for clear nefarious purposes :/

@bunny_jane Yeah, this is always a difficult line to balance. I try to give my sympathies and extend an offer to assist rather than try to immediately, though I notice that never gets followed up on either so idk if it works :/
