re: Quick explainer about GoToSocial for people who've heard of it but aren't sure what it is
@dumpsterqueer Is this the new "please stop building your critical infrastructure on my alpha software" anti-marketing strategy?
Finally decided to give Mastodon a go. Here are some samples of my work and where to find me!
Little PSA:
A huge chunk of the fediverse came here because they were harassed, literally and aggressively, off birdsite. Understandably, they don't want to be inundated with reminders of the things they went through there.
I know it's big news right now, but please, if you're talking about that place, consider using a content warning <3
Thank you.
To be honest and maybe I forgot but since I started to use the Internet/Fidonet around 1988, I never seen a migration so big from a CORPORATE service to a community decentralized service in so many numbers, I seen the opossite but never from evil to good, tends to be from good to evil (centralized, closed source Internet) so I guess now I seen it all this gives me some hope all the new people will learn about other things also ethical in the fediverse, like #Matrix and #PixelFed even #Gemini
Het is allemaal decentraal, dus doe je donaties ook decentraal: steun eerst je instance met donaties (als je het kunt missen, en de admins om donaties vragen), en als je dan nog geld overhebt, dán is het interessant om "Mastodon" (de Duitse nonprofit) ook geld te geven.
Er is een populair bericht dat veel geboost wordt dat je vraagt geld te betalen aan Mastodon, omdat Mastodon te weinig geld zou hebben voor de 1 miljoen nieuwe accounts.
Lief, maar zo werkt 't niet. Donaties aan die non-profit zijn cool en ondersteunen de ontwikkeling, maar het netwerk is decentraal en de kosten voor het in de lucht houden zijn dus ook decentraal. Doneren aan een centrale organisatie is echt niet nodig.
The secret recipe for a good toot is to mix equal parts earnest post and joke post.
Now these can be stirred together and strained over a nice image, or shaken and served up in a martini glass.
Every now and then tho, I like to pour them in separately over a bartender’s spoon and create a nice layered effect.
re: twitter
@halcy Wait, which instance is this?
@aethylred Fair. I guess that if enough people genuinely consider it important, it would spread by boosts anyway.
To me, the fediverse is about having a community of people collectively maintaining this public space where they can freely share their thoughts, passions, and problems. Where they can support each other and keep each other safe with community power.
In the process of moving to @joepie91. This account will stay active for the foreseeable future! But please also follow the other one.
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
- 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.
