vaguely political rant
@lawremipsum@mspsocial.net Unfortunately, I'd say it's not *just* the "extremely online" mentality.
All news outlets essentially run on this same principle - they just feed you a perpetual stream of completely non-actionable information that mostly just makes you feel bad, and that *really* is only useful to journalists whose literal job it is to distill long-term meaning from it.
This is not meant to disagree with your toot in any way, of course, just to emphasize that this problem also exists outside of "internet folks", with much the same harmful consequences, and that it's pretty much an (arguably deliberate) cultural cornerstone in many places.
Wrote a bit about woof.group as a social space, how I'm planning to handle the flood of new members this month, and what you can do to help: https://woof.group/about/more#growth
Grand Plan Fund - £1,000 grants to creative people of colour based in the UK
"...who want to make a new cultural project happen. It can be anything from: poetry, paintings, fashion, zines, music, food, flowers, photographs to workshops or events — whatever you want.
We award ten grants every two months, and our current round closes on 30th November 2022."
@maia Oh :(
@maia nah, just delete their instance
@A8bit 🤔 I don't think it works that way, I think you need to actually follow people for any lasting federation that affects your timeline view?
why cohost is problematic (long)
@risottobias@tech.lgbt Oh, for sure, I have a lot of issues with how Eugene runs things as well. It's the difference between the "well, that sucks, you'll just have to deal with it" of a silo vs. "we don't *have* to do what this guy says" of a federated network that's important to me :)
WIP of some more lowpoly fox 3D prints I created. Soon I will have the gang back together again. :3
Printed on an #Ender3 and painted with acrylics.
They will be again for sale around the end of the year, with optional winter hats. I'm curious about opinions on pricing. I will attach a poll to a followup post, if you want to fill it out. ^.^
@rockandvulcan Hmm, dat zou niet het geval moeten zijn, al kan het zijn dat specifieke instances dat beperken. Als je bijvoorbeeld direct naar mijn profiel op pixie.town gaat, kun je wel de hele lijst zien: https://social.pixie.town/@joepie91
@susannahbirch Never. Brands are not welcome here.
@Elizafox I think there's something going on around that with Third Room

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
