Heard some rumblings about Meta having NDA'd meetings with some fedi admins.

GoToSocial will investigate automated blocking of Meta instances, as soon as we know more about what they're planning and what their software looks like.

Fuck Meta, they've caused more than enough harm elsewhere without wading into this place too; and fuck folks who are meeting with them in secret instead of simply and unambiguously telling them to fuck off.

Don't let those pieces of shit get a foothold here.

(Cue concern trolling and accusations of overreaction + elitism in 3, 2, ...)

@BlackMastodon
I stumbled into knowing White people with connections. And I think my teachers and professionals saw me as 'different'.
(I had an autistic hyper focus on Quantum/Theoretical physics so I think I stood out in my '"inner city" school?)

They thought I was going to be the next great Black Physicist so they helped me. But Black/POC people who ARENT looking to be CEOs or cure Cancer or solve the Darkmatted riddle deserve help.
And White folks you have the power to help.

@BlackMastodon
I mean... White folks (or people in general) only helping kids/adults with "obvious promise" to be the next CEO of something is a lot to unpack, and that takes energy.

IMO legislation wont fix employers seeing a Black name & throwing a resume away. (technically illegal.)
To protect from discrimination, a person would have to raise a legal challenge. These laws dont kick in by themselves.🙄

It's up to us working together. ➡️White ppl leverage your privilege!⬅️

you, too, can sign the Anti-Meta Pact (if you're an admin/mod)

while numerous humble fediverse admins are signing The Anti-Meta Pact

it seems some untold number of high-profile ones have signed the opposite

The Meta Vow of Silence

Fairy character idea, I'll call her Lymyntria, it's probably the only chance to play a character with a mermaid skirt.
I quite like her super narrow ring backpack, has suggestions of the insectoid feel.
Also little spy listening kit at her belt.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

So, IT (and programming) are both heavily white male industries in the West.
One time on Bird App, there were a bunch of educated Black folk comiserating together that they couldnt get a foot in the door despite having education and experience.

A white dude, managerial level, came into the comments section saying he would be a reference for who needed it. Just DM him. He was tired of The System.

That's on that Ally shit right there. 👌🏿
