Relevant to any furry in the queer community who use apps like Grindr, this is a must read. Grindr sells your data to whoever which can mean you'll be outed to your employer or potentially the government. Bad outcomes if either is hostile to queer community or just hate harassment from strangers.

fediblock recommendation
Since it's been a bit since there's been a fediblock site I'm throwing up some recommendations for new instances that have come up since it went down
strelizia.net - this is an alternative instance to posting.lolicon.rocks with the same admin
rakket.app - nazis, harassment
daishouri.moe - nazis (even a big swastika on their about page)
kissl*lis.com - self explanatory
pedo.school - self-explanatory
freecumextremist.com - alternative kiwifarms instance, they operate the harassment "fediverse wiki"
beefyboys.club/bigguys.club/*.bigguys.club - neo nazis, harassment
gearlandia.haus - transphobia and racism
poast.eth - this is an alternative domain for poa.st thats operated through crypto instead of a standard host so it could potentially be used to block evade

4chan was a very different bad place years ago, and understanding that actually matters so that we understand how communities go bad and how they get corrupted into hell and how we can protect ourselves
I'm looking for #games developer studios which offer #linux support, internally use #foss software (e.g. Godot, Vulkan, ...) and use #green energy for their office and their servers? Any known good companies known for #sustainability in multiple dimensions which still exist in #2021 ?
In short: Is there something like #Fairphone of #gaming?
It feels weird when art tutorials approach "how to draw boys!"/"how to draw girls!" as if they're different species. Certainly study why something looks feminine/masculine to you, but don't let it limit you! #arttips
evictions, Massachusetts
