Meta meta
Meta cannot embrace us if we stay vigilant and lock them out at every turn
Meta cannot extend on us if we expressly and peogrammatically block anything using those extensions
Meta cannot extinguish us if we stand as a community against them and not give an inch
This is it, the lines are being drawn between a free fediverse and Meta's lapdogs, and anyone on Mastodon should fork now because Website Boy's made his intent clear
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.

@welshpixie @inherentlee Not pride as in the opposite of humility, but pride as in the opposite of shame.
#RedditBlackout organizers aren't fooling around and many have shifted into full on scortched earth on Reddit and to #RedditMigration mode:
