🦾mekka is correct in his assessment that #mastodon is being turned into a nazi bar imo. You can here see the mechanism by which that happens. It doesn’t require most instances to being Nazi, it requires a small group of Nazis going around harassing the people they don’t like until those people leave while nobody stops them.
The people the Nazis like may not notice other people getting “jumped,” because *they* get treated “well” by the Nazis. But next thing you know, the bar is de facto whites only, then de facto straights only too, and then soon it’s just nazis as everyone else is gradually run out of town as they take “living space” and colonize the place.
This must be actively fought and resisted, or yes, #fediverse will become “that place the nazis own” and activity pub will fail.
re: meta, racism, question
@chriscoreline Great, but a) I am disabled and generally cannot read whole books, and b) I *am* already learning about the basic issues but those crucially do not answer the *very specific* question that I asked in the original post, and like I mentioned, this is a problem *now* and perpetually waiting for the answer to magically coalesce is not really an option.
This whole discussion is kind of moot anyway, because the question was already answered - by a white person, I might add, whom I trust to derive their explanations from what non-white folks have said, as the post asked for - and so I have the answer I was looking for now.
re: meta, racism, question
@alexander @chriscoreline I mean, I agree with the idea that you shouldn't *expect* marginalized folks to explain things to you, because it *does* create an unreasonable amount of pressure on the most vulnerable folks, who constantly have to explain themselves.
But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be asking anything anymore at all either, because that creates the problem you describe where the proper solutions are unknown to people, hence trying to find ways (like the stand-alone question post) that ask but do not expect.

meta, racism, question
@chriscoreline I've posted it as a standalone question (as I've seen recommended by at least one Black person, incidentally) instead of in someone's replies specifically to avoid this.
I'm also specifically asking because I've been unable to find an answer on this over the past months, and if I want to be able to contribute towards a solution, I can't wait for the answer to magically appear forever - this is a problem *right now*.

How to approve and merge a pull request professionally? With two developers and their yubikey as authentication, using the briefcase of launching.
@t0fukeks@zug.network He does have a very informal style of animated speech that is probably relatively easier to understand?

@bumblebeedc@strangeobject.space Ah yeah, here they just updated the machine with a newer model that has a lot more capacity, for the same reason
re: Seeking Chair Recs
@cephie Ah, I guess the deletion didn't federate :p
The requirements in the original post were (abbreviated): lumbar support, adjustable height, seat padding, waterfall seat, no/detachable armrest, ~hundreds of dollars max
Dit is een toffe site, zeg: https://waarzitwatin.nl/

@rtn@chaos.social Oh I plan to reschedule another day (this is meant to become a recurring thing), I'm just annoyed that the 'trial day' didn't end up working out

@daughterofrao@weirder.earth I ran across https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq13diBRQcA which allows printing decals onto the first layer, but it is somewhat limited.
Usually you'd do some sort of screen printing for this, but that's probably going to be somewhat tricky to DIY without equipment (though likely possible!)
@ben Seems to be some work here: https://gist.github.com/idbrii/804ba1b902d8631f3bc82b8cb08b5f5f
