I've been watching the twitter flood with my ironic broken-brained detachment and also popcorn but the one thing making my blood pressure spike is all the people who've been here 5 minutes reporting people for posting fully-CW'd nudes/lewds because 'that's not the energy we need here. We don't do that here'. We, in fact, DO do 'that' here and have been doing 'that' here for many years. Take your swerf energy and fuck off to mumsnet

As Web 3.0 as a term has been utterly ruined by cryptobros, I propose the next version of the web will be Web 95.

I'm going to share this again, so new to Fedi people can see that there is a big community of people with chronic illness here.

There is also a some groups** you can follow here on the Fedi:

@mecfs
@chronicillness
@disability
@longcovid

If you follow these groups, you'll get any toots from people* who include this account in their toots when they are sharing #MECFS posts etc. You can add this to your toots about mecfs etc too.

*including researchers, you are very welcome!

**Groups are a free tool that anyone can use to set up for other illnesses, etc.

#MECFS #ChronicIllness #LongCovid #Disability #Fibromyalgia

@joepie91

This isn't a community. This is a big tent.

Well, if that's your opinion of this place, then don't blame us for thinking you're a clown - because you're already treating it like a circus.

Observation: Twitter is losing notifications for me, but the supposedly unreliable fedi isn't

@xenophora @joepie91 @thufie big "when all you have known is privilege equality feels like oppression" energy in that thread. watching people fluster because they've never seen communities meaningfully and effectively exercise agency around what gets pushed at them is really something.

Now i know why musk entered twitter HQ with a sink. Cause he was about to sink the company.

sorry more mastodon discussion, mastodev adjacent 

you know, i remember a lot of weird toys and tools that people built on top of twitter's API back in the day. i bet there could be a lot here that *are* opt-in and *not* suited for keyword harassment

This is not a bag of honor

No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here

Hi all. Can any other #blind people recommend an #accessible #mastodon app for #iOS? I'm trying to find a good one that works well with VoiceOver.

Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

There's a woman on the train this morning with her sunglasses sat up on top of her head and my first thought when I looked over that direction was "oh those are nice cat ears".

That's what five years on the fedi does to you, folks. Just be ready for it, ok?

what is the professionally appropriate way to say "sorry, code machine 🅱️roke" to your manager as an explanation for why your work isn't getting done

asking for a me

Please do not ask marginalised people to do the work of teaching you how to be a better ally, especially if that's not explicitly their job or business. Some of us may choose to do it, but it's on our own terms, not something to be demanded of us just by virtue of existing.

There are more than enough resources out there for you to learn on your own. Plenty you can observe. You don't need us hand-holding you through your every misstep. We've got our own things to do!

"Please teach us because the only way we can learn is if you tell us where we got it wrong" is not reasonable.

the non-binary condition is having to look up which side of the non-binary flag is up literally every time

"Defederate instances that platform fascists" very much includes cops.
