It's Trans Awareness Week, and I think back to the Black Trans Flag, the dominance of whiteness in this queer space, and the lack of care white ppl have for their Black queer siblings
I've been here for years, let's go down memory lane

meta, hachyderm, corporate capture 

Heads-up for any folks on hachyderm.io: I would recommend picking a different instance, as it seems likely that it'll get defederated from quite a few places at some point.

They seem to not only be happy with corporate accounts[1], but also apparently seek to "introduce trust with corporations" [and draw them to fedi?], which uhhhh yeah no.

This is a space for people, not for corporations. Let's not repeat the errors of the FOSS community (that eventually led to near-total corporate capture of FOSS) by inviting corporations into our spaces, not even "as long as they play nice".

it's an attempt to make somewhat of a protective shell around the Mastodon 4.x changes, so ideally the name reflects that

Thank you for readding this @f0x, we are more mastodons than mastodon is again

it means if you use a mastodon flavor skin it's still fucked atm

i fixed the html injection in a forked glitch-soc repo, but of fucking course glitch-soc actually mostly DUPLICATES the mastodon code in two places, so you have to update the identical Mastodon code too in a different folder for fucks sake you can't make this up

and this might fuckin involve a custom proxy that *does* require authentication for all requests

pixie.town has the two important fixes in glitch-soc backported to whatever 3.x release we were already on, but maintaining that forever is a losing game. I fucking hate the new landing page though so maybe I'll have to find a way to upgrade to V4 but disable all the privacy and security nightmare features

heh i hurried so much to get here 9:30 but now I know there's at least 10 minutes margin before anything happens so I will just hurry for 9:40 next week

I see that @threadunroller@mastodon.social has made it to Mastodon. I have suspended it from religion.masto.host, and will suspend any other content scraping bots I become aware of.

Thread readers scrape content without the consent of the creator, move it to a website outside of the creator's control, and sometimes monetise it, as discussed here:
