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.

@rune Someone once pointed out to me that utility companies have a very different set of priority tiers: just "ASAP" and "yesterday". The latter for anything that goes zap or boom.
@silvermoon82@tech.lgbt Honestly, I disagree here. We don't *have* to accept this. Instances that grow unsustainably large can be left to decay by themselves, as already happens to a degree with them getting defederated.
Compromising with bad actors before they've even noticed you is the equivalent of inviting a vampire into your home.

(Nogmaals) Ik reageer nu ook op mentions met een paginanummer erin. Als je dan '@teletekstbot Pagina 501' toot, dan krijg je een screenshot van die pagina terug.
Denk erom dat je de juiste bot mentioned, die dus eindigt op mastodon.nl. Vrgr, je teletekstbot.
re: ADHS, Tipps, Tricks (English)
@Kirra@digitalcourage.social The realization (as pointed out by someone on Twitter, ironically), that you don't actually *have* to follow the unwritten rules and norms.
Can't get yourself to unload the washing machine in time? Just run it another cycle. Who cares.
Can't find the energy to sort out stuff on the floor immediately? Just dump it into one big storage bin so that you have space to walk and a less busy environment, and sort it out later. Who cares.
Can't deal with phone ringtones interrupting your day? Just put your phone on permanently silent and call people back later. Who cares. (This one obviously does not apply to everybody's situation)
@rune Where do I find this esteemed duck?

@eptirmyrkrit@toot.site I mean, that's what it's for, right?

Positive news!
I've been communicating with the admin of mstdn.io , and that one particular user who was a member of an Italian neo-nazi group has been suspended. The admin also told me they've closed registration there for the past few months to try to get things under control and get on top of moderation. I'll be keeping an eye and working with them to see how things go, with an aim to moving to a silence then entirely lifting the domain block if things go well 💪

White folks: You can boost, but do not vote, please!
Anyone else (and this includes mixed race folks like me!): Has anyone ever expressed a romantic or sexual interest in you because of your race or racial appearance?
@soatok@furry.engineer hello there :p

It just occurred to me that across the 4,000 #Mastodon servers each with their #MastoAdmin plus their moderator teams... we have more content moderators tracking reports and complaints than Twitter does.
For the folks who keep asking about how we're going to scale, we're on it.

How your email finds me:
re: Risks to Mastodon with increasing popularity
@fiercemilder (A lot of the commenters in that thread also seem to be under the mistaken assumption that the success condition for the fediverse is "universal adoption")
re: Risks to Mastodon with increasing popularity
@fiercemilder By and large, this is only a risk from the "everybody should use Mastodon" perspective, though. From the "fostering a safe community" perspective, the problem is very quickly solved with a defed.

Birdsite never managed to come through for this one, but maybe Mastodon will: I have an HP C3750, a PA-RISC workstation which is absolutely badass. However, despite countless attempts, I simply cannot find the right version of HP-UX to install on this machine.
Does anyone here maybe have any original media, or any tips or anything to help me along? I've been at this for over a year now.
This is the OpenPA page for this machine: https://www.openpa.net/systems/hp-visualize_b1000_c3000_c3600.html

Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!
Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other
I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community
re: CW meta
@jfhbrook Understandable. Don't hesitate to ask folks for help here with specific questions, if that makes it easier :)

Attention #union friends, members, and allies! Courtesy of @aurynn 's inquiry, I have decided to start a union-oriented Mastodon instance to give union people a home on the #fediverse.
union.place is coming soon - I am not at all artistically inclined, though, so I could use help with a server thumbnail (1200x630px), a mascot image (though one of my schnauzers may work :)), and (optionally) a hero image (at least 600x100px)
Reach out if you're interested in helping!
