racism on the fedi 

People new to the fediverse should be made aware that, regrettably, it is still a very white space. Black people, indigenous people and people of color have been subject to all kinds of racist harassment and other bullshit on here.

This is a thing that may be difficult to grasp, especially for people new to the fedi, and especially for white people who are not affected by racism. It can be subtle. It can fly under the radar. And everyone on here is a leftist anyway, aren't leftists supposed to be anti-racist?

In my more than two years on this platform, I have learned that no, just because somebody is a leftist and proclaims to be anti-racist in their bio or their instance's terms of service, doesn't mean they won't side with white racists and join in on the bullying of BIPOC on here when push come to shove. And frankly, that's fucking atrocious

looking at code I wrote less than a month ago like who the fuck wrote this

Hello, trying to recall how this site works after all this time :)
Gently throwing in a test post with some artworks from the last year.

brits don't say "i love you" but "you're a bellend" and I think that's beautiful

openssl is actually short for open spooky spooky library

decided to just stay home today, time to make a cup of tea and slowly work on all these todo's

@schratze @owl and you can use e as en , which is also a/an, so it becomes "pök e mon" fuck a monster.

fucking hell, i forgot glitch-soc can't import blocklists that contain emoji....

@dumpsterqueer Please temper your expectations, and give us money here on the Open Collective, so we can pay more additional devs for work over the next year.

i am once again reminding everyone that GoToSocial is buggy, weird, alpha software :go_to_social:

the project is about a year and a half old

you should not switch to GoToSocial if you value your sanity

it likely won’t Just Work immediately in the way you’re used to from other fedi server softwares

it’s pretty decent + usable already, and we’re working on it prettymuch constantly, but it’s not even in beta yet, please temper your expectations ;)

thank you!

One of the most important things an admin on the fedi can do is defederate. Defederate hateful instances, edgy instances (they often interact with hateful instances), anything that strikes you as skeevy or off.

You make the fedi better every time you do.

I host the pixie.town Mastodon and Matrix servers (and a bunch of other smaller services).

I also work on a variety of projects, like the ActivityPub server and a new ActivityPub client , as well as a bunch of other projects you can find at git.pixie.town/f0x

social.pixie.town is co-moderated by @thufie, she has a liberapay at liberapay.com/thufie

Support your local server before you support official Mastodon development!

Check what fork your local server runs before you support the official Mastodon development.

You'll find some really cool people, and Your money will probably have a much larger impact supporting the local server and forks.

I got as far as the header image calling it the instance for "redpilled exiles" when I was checking whether to forward a report on someone for inflammatory behaviour
