it may be an issue of how the conversations are being framed, but it's as if marginalized communities were never here

It would be good to engage with those of us that have been here and done some work

Something I don't think new users to this platform are considering, particularly for how queer PoC navigate this space, is that despite not having the same tools as birdlandia, we still have carved out ways to care for ourselves here

we have managed to build community across instances here

and that work, that precedent should not be forgotten or not considered in these fanciful critiques

sorry not sorry

Having a chat with the @Vivaldi folks about some of my concerns regarding the integration of Mastodon into the Vivaldi browser (and potentially having it extended by features only available in the Vivaldi browser; the first of which is sign in with your Vivaldi account, which only works on vivaldi.social).

What are your thoughts?

People that run an instance are like cat looker-afterers and we are the cats

The fact that we've already gone from "it doesn't matter what server you join" to "it sometimes really matters what servers you join" is a huge leap forward in collective intelligence when thinking about social media.

We've moved from technological considerations to social, cultural & political considerations. We've already democratized our mindset when thinking about tech.

just a note for new artists coming to mastodon:

i've noticed some of you tried to censor words like "patreon/paypal/ko-fi" etc because you seemed to do that during your stay in twitter because the algorithms would prevent your post from being massively seen

but you don't have to do that in mastodon, because there is no algorithm at all!

so don't worry, you don't have to hide links and other stuff!!

(ps: don't forget to cw your art please)

have a good day!

Ik hoop echt dat organisaties in het oog blijven houden dat online deelname aan een evenement of lezing echt toegankelijker is, zeker nu er allerlei problemen zijn met de NS en andere vervoerders.

Hey there, Admin of the Internet Archive Mastodon here. I've seen some people speculate/rumor that the Archive's mastodon instance is set up to be an involuntary vacuum spot for all toots passing back into the Wayback, and it is NOT that. Any archiving of toots would be some other project (and outside my knowledge) but the Internet Archive Mastodon is just another instance, doing the mastodon thing. Communicate with us at will.

Ik lees dat DHL een klimaatneutrale cityhub in de regio Tilburg opent.

Dat betekent dat ze daar ook gewoon niets rondbrengen en iedereen elke dag een email sturen dat ze mensen niet thuis aan hebben getroffen, en men het op kan halen op het depot.

Saw some takes today about defederation being bad because it means your clueless relatives will wonder why they can’t follow x big account (Stephen Fry for example) from their instance, which means they’ll just join dot social and stay there because it federates the widest.

My official position on this is that that fucking rules actually because you can just defed from dot social and chill with people you actually want to spend time with 👍
