Welcome to all the new folks! Mastodon is a lot like Twitter, but there are two etiquette things I'd like to remind everyone of.

1. Add alt text to your images so people know what they're looking at! Click where it says "No description added" and you can describe the image to everyone.

2. Use hashtags! You can follow a hashtag in the same way you'd follow an account, so it's great for helping people find your work. Bonus points if you CamelCase the tags.

@elfi The town of Lysandre's Rest holds a lantern festival each autumn, after the first frost, with six nights of lanterns being released amid other celebrations. They hold it in honor of how you sought out the Queen of Winter, intending to save your people from a harsh winter, and ended up marrying her after she found you full of life and fire such as she'd never known. Lysandre's Rest hasn't had a harsh winter in over three centuries, thanks to your quest. #WhisperingInfinities

From now until 8:00a Pacific, 2 July 2023, the #WhisperingInfinities return! This time, all who respond will learn of a festival or celebration held in their honor somewhere across the Infinity of Infinities!
If you like these flash pieces, you can support me making them (this is my only income!)

TFW you use a random online TTS service and it reads "$0" as "bin bash" 😬

Given those in power spent the whole month trying to shame those LGBT, Pride Month has been extended by 1 (one) month. Further infractions may result in the start of Wrath Month.

Mastodon strikes me as more of an indie space than a place where people hire or get hired, but just for the record: Daedalic has now officially stopped internal game development. That means pretty much everyone who worked on Gollum was laid off.

In other words, if you need a designer, a programmer or an artist who already is skilled at working remotely, now is good opportunity to hire some really nice people.

White supremacy, Racism, Fascism 

Oh great, I found my first white LGBTQ+ person on this site who thinks BIPOC folks should set aside racism (from us white queers) in the fight against fascism. And when told she would have to stop being racist before we can have coalition with BIPOC people, she said 'I guess no coalition then'. 💀

REALLY saying the quiet part out loud there. As if fascism isn't upheld by white supremacy and racism.

info on DARVO, byron 

DARVO is an acronym for Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It's a strategy that abusers use to avoid being held accountable and deflect negative attention onto the person attempting to hold them accountable. Wikipedia breaks it down nicely:

1. The abuser denies the abuse ever took place.
2. When confronted with evidence, the abuser then attacks the person that was abused (and/or the person's family and/or friends) for attempting to hold the abuser accountable for their actions, and finally,
3. The abuser claims that they are actually the victim in the situation, thus reversing the positions of victim and offender. It often involves not just playing the victim but also victim blaming.

This has been going on here all week. mastodon.art attempts to hold universeodon accountable by advising their users that they will be defederating; announcements w/ notice are a standard practice here.

1. The abuser denies the abuse ever took place
a. "It's unfortunate mastodon.art decided to defederate on lies"

2. When confronted with evidence, the abuser then attacks the person that was abused
a. "M.art has a beef witih Eugen, the creator of mastodon and that beef extends to everyone who doesn't join the m.art "clique""
b. "Their style of moderation is control"
c. "People on .art have 0 agency and it creates an environment of fear"
d. Entire post

3. The abuser claims that they are actually the victim in the situation
a. "They turned my enthusiasm against me. They turned me talking about providing agency to users against me. Worst of all, they didn't reach out to me at all."
b. "We have never received a moderation report from .art or any of their affiliated sites (rage. Love) that wasn't a report of them personally attacking something i said to troll me"
c. "I've been minding my own business. It was .art that made a blog and broke the connections of consenting folks for no reasons other than personal attacks against me based on heresy"
d. "i responded to a blog that inspired people to cause violence"

& there's so much more. All the while .art's admin has only posted to counter his claims, and posted an AMA about their silenced/defederated domains for anyone concerned due to what Byron was saying.

DARVO is dangerous, so I hope this helps someone identify it in their own life. Stay safe out there.

Regarding the position of scicomm.xyz on #Meta and in the Fediverse, #FediPact etc.

After discussion between myself and the other mods and considering the views expressed by the people on our instance we have decided that pre-emptive blocking of Meta is warranted.

There is more detail on the background and explanation of this decision in a post on our companion site, here:
about.scicomm.xyz/doku.php?id=

Thanks to our people for their comments and suggestions to help us reach this decision.
