any restaurant where you might have to wait a decent amount for your server or food should do the paper tablecloth + crayons thing

Come to think of it, why *doesn't* the Contributor Covenant say anything about consent or respecting boundaries?

A reason to block "reply guys" (of whatever gender) who follow you vs. just muting them or toughing it out because you don't feel like you deserve better: Because they may do the same thing to the people you boost.

This is something folks like me with a (too) high follower count should especially be aware of, but it could happen with anyone. So if not blocking them for your own mental health, consider that you don't want people you boost to experience this.

Here's how the "Ship of Theseus" page looked in July 2003 when it was first created! Since then, the article has been edited 1792 times. 0% of its original phrases remain.

You know, apart from blocking threads instances, there are other options on how to deal with Meta above instance level. The different fedi platforms could decide... Well, to poison the well.

You could program your server to transform outgoing post going towards Threads' servers in whatever you like. From... Making every post to have the infamous white-Zuckenberg surfing picture attached, to transforming every post they receive from your server in a quote from Das Kapital making your instance a honeypot of Marxist theory, to... Nastier things.

So instead of gatekeeping them, we would be gaslighting them. Hmm.

Voor wie wil: je kunt nog tot en met 22 december een herhaalprik halen bij diverse priklocaties, ook zonder afspraak of uitnodiging. Dus ook als je niet of niet helemaal tot de doelgroep behoort. Ze stellen geen vragen en invulformulieren (over gezondheid/allergie) liggen bij de entree. https://mijnvraagovercorona.nl/nl/vaccineren/prikken-zonder-afspraak

I don't know that there's much point in continuing to patiently explain why people should defederate from Facebook's Threads, to be honest.

This has been explained so many times, the instances who are insisting on federating will almost certainly have had the opportunity to learn of the reasons and act accordingly, even if they claim they "don't see the problem". Many of them have even ignored or misrepresented the explanations addressed directly to them.

I think that by this point, it's much more reasonable to assume that the holdouts understand very well what the problems are with Facebook - they just either don't care, or they believe that whatever (they think) they will personally get out of the deal is more important than those issues.

The demographic distribution among those against vs. in favour of federation is probably like that for a reason...

​ "Fediverse"
--sounds like it was coined by a techbro
--reminiscent of "Metaverse" which has been inextricably linked to Facebook/Meta

​ "Fedisphere"
+Reference to the "blogosphere"-- a collection of independently hosted blogs and websites that formed the early internet, similar to Fedi as social media
+Spheres are cool

periodic reminder that "no, I'm in the control group" is a wonderfully versatile response that works in many situations

"did you catch the Seahawks game last night?" / "no, I'm in the control group"

"do you have any plans for Christmas?" / "no, I'm in the control group"

"do you know how fast you were going back there?" / "no, I'm in the control group"

"can I get you something to drink?" / "no, I'm in the control group"

Data,

I have found your animal. It is in Jefferies tube 25. It will not come out.
