Positive news!
I've been communicating with the admin of mstdn.io , and that one particular user who was a member of an Italian neo-nazi group has been suspended. The admin also told me they've closed registration there for the past few months to try to get things under control and get on top of moderation. I'll be keeping an eye and working with them to see how things go, with an aim to moving to a silence then entirely lifting the domain block if things go well 💪
It just occurred to me that across the 4,000 #Mastodon servers each with their #MastoAdmin plus their moderator teams... we have more content moderators tracking reports and complaints than Twitter does.
For the folks who keep asking about how we're going to scale, we're on it.
Birdsite never managed to come through for this one, but maybe Mastodon will: I have an HP C3750, a PA-RISC workstation which is absolutely badass. However, despite countless attempts, I simply cannot find the right version of HP-UX to install on this machine.
Does anyone here maybe have any original media, or any tips or anything to help me along? I've been at this for over a year now.
This is the OpenPA page for this machine: https://www.openpa.net/systems/hp-visualize_b1000_c3000_c3600.html
Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!
Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other
I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community
Attention #union friends, members, and allies! Courtesy of @aurynn 's inquiry, I have decided to start a union-oriented Mastodon instance to give union people a home on the #fediverse.
union.place is coming soon - I am not at all artistically inclined, though, so I could use help with a server thumbnail (1200x630px), a mascot image (though one of my schnauzers may work :)), and (optionally) a hero image (at least 600x100px)
Reach out if you're interested in helping!
Being a woman in STEM
Today was exhausting.
I asked someone to run a test on some data for me and the response was to assume I didn't know what I was talking about. This is not the first time this person has done this, they are constantly speaking down to me about science. I see how they treat colleagues that are men, and it's completely different from how they treat women.
So anyways, I'm looking for more #WomenInSTEM to connect with here! 🔭🧑🔬
Hiep hiep hoera, we bestaan alweer 5 jaar. Om het te vieren hebben wij vlaai gehaald voor op de space. #hackerspaces
Hello again, #fediverse! We used to have an account at @revspace@mstdn.io but that has been dormant for a few years. We're back, and of course now joining the brand new HSNL (Hackerspaces Netherlands) server.
Twitter exodus rant
"hey we are coming to your place because your turned into a burning clusterfuck"
"hey, we are glad to see you, just please follow the local etiquette if possible, it would be very nice and it helps to make our place safe and accessible"
"no"
"what?"
"no. i won't do that."
"but why?"
"you are telling me what to do."
"i am not telling you what to do, i am advising you to respect us. you came here, not the other way around."
"no screw you. i do here what i want."

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
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.
