So I was checking my logs and people report me to me all the time, but I got a report from mas.to, who has defederated with me, which is fine, but what was said got my attention.
They called me racist and said I didn't use content warnings for my content, which we've discussed at length this week, and how entitled it is. We all know that's just white people shit.
But they say I attack people. This is a bald-faced lie. If you look at every single one of my contentious moments with other users on here, they come at me. I don't attack people. I defend myself. 100% of the time. I do not go after people. That's not my thing, and I have zero interest in the lives of bigots and people who just don't like me for whatever reason.
Earlier in the week, I talked about how much understanding there is for bigotry and hate on the fedi but that isn't extended to it's targets.
The situation is with mas.to is a perfect example of this.
I would urge caution for anyone who interacts with that instance as they've shown a tolerance for bigotry but none for people who are harassed and targeted by it.

We need another sex positive, sex worker instance on the fedi.
We don't have enough smut. Smut levels are far too low.

I, in the nicest possible way, do not care if people like/prefer/need dark mode. Or light mode! It's a real "difference of opinion" situation; your choice doesn't affect anyone else so do what you like!
I just think both should be options, both should be treated as equally important in development, and no one should be mean to the individual people using the other.
It's just weird that the failures to do this, that I see anyway, all seem to be on one side of this dark/light binary.

death
Sir Alfred Mehran, the guy who lived at the CDG airport for many years, has apparently died :(

choosing a Mastodon instance/server, special heads-up for mastodon.social users
Since so many people are joining mastodon.social right now, including some really unpleasant-to-deal-with people, and since mastodon.social doesn't have a lot of hands-on moderation to dissuade the unpleasant folks, some other instances are talking about "defederating" from mastodon.social. That would mean that, if your account is on mastodon.social, folks on other servers would be less likely to get/read your posts.
E-mailing me with a technical question is like playing the lottery; if the spoons align you'll get a comprehensive novel in return, but otherwise you'll probably get no response at all and it sits in my "to-respond-to" pile forever

Ah, Elon Musk. He tried to be the Henry Ford of space travel but instead became the Liz Truss of social media.

weird, the type checker keeps rejecting my program and the error message just says "this ain't it chief" or "not the vibe"

twitter fedi meta
thinking about all the time and effort that was wasted by people trying to "fix" twitter only for it to be bought by an impulsive billionaire who is setting it on fire, and how the real move was to build an alternative for people to come to following it's inevitable collapse. thinking about how this scales to other similarly doomed systems.

Wild how conservative objections to things are either entirely unconnected to reality or are good things actually

Als je tegelijkertijd leest dat Pfizer €21 miljard winst maakt en dat passende zorg voor de burger niet meer gegarandeerd kan worden, is de eenvoudige conclusie dat doorgeslagen marktwerking in de zorg het probleem is.

Hey, I'm looking for a specific fedi instance recommendation
Allows bots (it won't be an annoying bot)
Has a long (>1500) max toot length
Supports text/html toots or similar (not upstream mastodon, but glitch-soc and some other forks are fine)

Survived day 1 of Dutch #Pinball Open: build up and tournaments + recreational play on soooo many games (pics are just the tip of the iceberg) in the amazing Dutch Pinball Museum in #rotterdam, two more days to go
There are till tickets available too!

but it would be really hilarious if they just deleted twitter and replaced it with a mastodon install as a cost-saving measure
