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.

@chemdrv Hi! There's a lot of advice being shared on #feditips, but I'd say that the most important thing to keep in mind early on is that there's no algorithmic broadcast of toots here - that makes the place feel much 'smaller' and generally cozier, but also means that you need to actively seek out and follow people who look interesting :)

introducing the new "mint this post as an NFT" bot for mastod-- [i am shot]
@ckie I still have a couple of checkpoints before that; 1312, 1337... already passed the 69, though. 2048 also ain't bad.
@M0YNG Same for TV shows honestly - so, so tired of the stale trope of "conflicting love interests and jealousy drive the half-baked plot because nobody can talk through it like an adult". I want to see more healthy poly relationships.

I'm bored of all the songs on the (broadcast) radio with people being possessive and jealous.
Where are the songs about a boy telling his girlfriend that he's met someone else and they form a polycule?
What about a girl telling her boyfriend she's trans and him being supportive and questioning his own sexual identify?
I think we need more @powderpaint on the radio...
@ckie Aw dammit, boosts also get counted

ADHD meds
Found a Ritalin cheat code: drinking a cup of tea alongside the first dose of the day (ie. before it kicks in) makes the effect of the Ritalin throughout the day *much* more consistent, even after taking it for a long time

protip: joining the fediverse may lead to gender stuff
What's the general consensus on when to boost unlisted toots?
@rorik@tech.lgbt Definitely have a look at the #feditips hashtag, lots of good tips being posted there

every single platform that has an "about me" field that has a character limit of less than like 5000 is doing queerphobia
normative people are so boring and theyre like "oh okay so we only need to let people write like 300 characters in their bio" FUCK you

Mastodon tip: you can customize a column to list multiple hashtags (and block-list some of them too). It's a good way to discover all the posts gravitating around the topics you like (eg. for art, #mastoart is a popular one). That's really a feature I love here and wanted to share it to newcomers.

Long rambly post about tech pol
I feel like there's two groups in tech, and sadly the one I am in is way smaller. There's the silicon valley tech cowboys who love new tech and make things to see how they break things, impact be damned. And the people like me who think tech is cool, but maybe we should think about the ramifications of what we create before making it? And not make things that enforce capitalist norms on society etc.
I'm glad to work in a place where I don't need to juggle these concepts, and am free to create free and open software and data. And that mastodon is a place filled with more of my people than the other (though the others are here too to my dismay). I just really wish the field of tech contained more ethics and philosophy instead of just being treated as a purely scientific or mechanical endeavor, all engineering is highly political and we need to consider how it is and what impact we have.
