meta 

People learning how many instances stux runs are realizing fedi has already had a Jeff for a long time.

angry, long, sort of meta, but also about politics in general 

And yet again, the greatest threat to the Fediverse isn't Meta - but the people doing their work for them and actively making room for them by "giving them a chance", "we should have a calm conversation about this", etc.

You're actively complicit in this. Instead of listening to the many marginalized folks sounding the alarm, fearing for the continued existence and safety of their communities... you choose to give the "benefit of the doubt" to a corporation with a decade+ track record of exploitation, consent violations, and literal genocide(!).

You care more about "growth", about some superficial appearance of neutrality and rationality, about recognition by a 'prestigious' tech corp, than you do about the safety of vulnerable folks in your community.

You chose to trust a demonstrably dishonest corporation instead of your fellow community members.

And while you might think that this is 'just being rational' or 'not a big deal', it's extremely clear to everybody else what choice you've made, and that people cannot depend on you for their safety.

This has consequences, and if you wonder why people stop trusting you or being patient with you, this is why.

And all of this applies much more broadly than just the current Facebook/fedi situation, because this happens *all the time* in politics, with (especially privileged) people defending oppressive and violent institutions, often just to avoid their own discomfort.

You are complicit. You chose to be a part of the problem. You're not neutral - you picked a side, like it or not.

covid, mask advice 

@raccoonformality@mastodon.gamedev.place "Reusable" masks is a bit vague here - do you mean washable masks? If so, no, they are not going to be as efficient as eg. a good FFP2 mask, because an FFP2 filter will not survive a washing cycle.

That having been said, you can generally reuse "disposable" FFP2 masks as well, as long as they've stayed dry and you leave them untouched for a while (so any virus particles on them can die out). Likewise, there are various ways to actively disinfect them, but that's a somewhat involved process to get right.

I use 3M Aura 9320+ masks, maximum 4 hours each, and then leave them for at least a week (but ideally longer) before reusing them again. If they are damaged or humid, I throw them out.

comment on this great breakcore mix

Meta / universeodon 

Been blocked by the big boss at universeodon.
If they want to cozy up to Meta despite decades of Facebook/Meta/Other big tech companies facilitating the erosion of countless people's safety on a global scale on one hand, and algorithming the most dangerous and harmful voices around into rooms together to radicalise themselves towards actual murder then so be it. It's a them problem now :trash_daa:

weed, video games 

i've just been watching people play minecraft alpha while they get very high

I want to dispel any rumors that I am a paid shill for GoToSocial: I am such a sicko I pay them for the opportunity :gts_sicko:

meta (not Meta) - hashtag use 

@nic Or make the recommendation post unlisted - hashtags used in unlisted posts don't show up in the hashtag search. ^.^

re: moto moto 

@katnjiapus@toot.site that sure was something lmao

@goat@hellsite.site but do you have grapperhaus (our shitty ex-minister of "justice" and "security")

re: practical meta stuff 

@darckcrystale @kouett @joepie91 for sure, and I appreciate that, but I still expect glitch-soc will largely follow upstream, because they don't have the resources/intent to actual independence. This is already apparent by the wide public api access introduced in Mastodon 4.x (ignoring secure_mode) also being included in glitch-soc
