Advice for new users, sometimes we tag CWs as "Meta," meaning content about the current controversy of the day on masto.
You may be wondering how you can tell the difference between meta commentary and meta the company, here is a handy way to tell the difference:
No one talks about the company.

If you want to #Invest in #Mastodon #onHere during the #twitterMigration the #best way is to find a #trans person's account and click on the #LinkInBio that says #Donate. #InvestInMastodon #MastodonStock #FediTips #

Trans Safety, media advisory
Trans Safety Network have published a safety guide for those considering engaging with a media request, based on community experience dealing with potentially exploitative or extractive content requests that in some cases set the participants up to be demonised.

Trans Safety, media advisory
There is an ITV documentary crew doing the rounds looking for trans people using DIY HRT sources.
While there are no clear red flags it's worth asking:
1. What would you be getting in return for being put at risk by being on camera?
2. What Trans input is there into the questions addressed by this documentary content? Are they seriously including our views or are they just gawping at the desperate state of our healthcare?
3. What have they done to build trust?

If you wonder why the memes about mastodon.social and mastodon.online being unmoderated go around
it's because they literally only have one moderator right now
@scanlime Tried pinging them over on birdsite, since they're also instance-blocked by pixie.town. Let's hope they check their DMs over there.

The collapse of Twitter is a system breakdown. Mastodon and the fediverse represent something different: _system change_. From for-profit "Big Tech" to nonprofit, open source, community-owned public spaces.
System change is always harder than you think. It always incurs short-term costs, with hoped for long-term benefits.
The next few weeks will be really tough for the fediverse. Stick around, vibe with it, and you just might help us put a huge part of the web back in community hands. <3
@scanlime Are they still doing the whole "why won't you federate with me???" thing?

meta about organisations on the fedi
If you're an organisation that wants to participate on the fediverse, you really need to be running your own Mastodon instance.
Most of the Mastodon infrastructure right now is being run by individuals or small groups, for the community.
Trying to put your "official account" on community infrastructure is extremely rude.

I’m already seeing devopsy type tech dudes posting about how to ‘scale mastodon’ and it’s depressing to say the least
politics
@TinaThePerson I feel like that's kind of missing the forest for the trees, though. While the value of a vote isn't zero, it's still relatively inconsequential in the bigger picture, and a lot more good can be achieved by organizing things ourselves collectively, also outside of the fediverse. Aren't the experiences that you're describing proof that that works?
facebook, decentralisatie
@RudyBouma@mastodon.social Mja. Dat zijn natuurlijk mooie beloftes, maar het is voor zover ik kan zien wel gewoon weer een silo waar een enkel bedrijf aan de knoppen draait, en waar je dus volledig van afhankelijk bent, ook in de toekomst.
Alle grote socialemediaplatformen van vandaag begonnen met mooie beloftes, die naarmate de tijd verstreek steeds meer verwaterden (zoals te verwachten is van commerciele bedrijven), maar tegen die tijd waren ze groot genoeg dat je eigenlijk niet meer de optie had om er *niet* op te zitten.
Dus ik kan dit soort niet-interoperabele platformen maar moeilijk serieus nemen, want er is grote kans dat het gewoon weer op precies hetzelfde resultaat uitdraait, en tegen die tijd kun je er als gebruiker niets meer aan doen.
Dan is federated software (zoals bijvoorbeeld Friendica, want er is veel meer dan alleen maar Mastodon) een veel relevantere optie, wat mij betreft. Daar heb je die afhankelijkheid niet, maar kan je nog steeds wel vergelijkbare diensten aanbieden.
