don't apologize to me that "this is complicated" if the problem is that you haven't explained what you mean, please
I am pretty good with complication but less good at mind reading
Well, this wasn't how I was planning to spend the day.

Fun fact from an etymology geek:
'polymath' doesn't come from the word mathematics, but from their shared root manthanein meaning ‘learn’. So the Greek word Greek polumathēs meaning ‘having learned much’, came before the word mathēmatikē tekhnē, which is where we got 'mathematics'.

re: kiwifarms, suspend list scraping
it's confirmed that qoto.org used a fascist's tool to mass send emails to instances who suspend them for good reason. https://qoto.org/@freemo/109360881187600726
#FediBlock qoto.org if you haven't already

Half of web users are running ad blockers.
With your support and help, we can get that number higher.

Remember: qoto dot org is a "Free speech" instance that refuses to defederate the nasty and horrible and hate speech side of the fediverse.
You should block them.
Your admin should fediblock them.

kiwifarms, suspend list scraping
It's important context that this tool was made by kiwifarms, and expliclity links to their git in the footer.
All of these requests have been along the lines of "look we have a perfect set of rules there's no possibility at all you blocked us for good reason".
1. we can block for whatever reason we want, it's a discussion to have within our own community, not with you.
2. you're using a kiwifarms tool to get this info. fuck off

meta, mastodon marketing malarkey
Honestly, though, why would you offer to host brands? They have advertising budgets, they can host their own instances.
Are you really that desperate to make Mastodon take off (even though they’re not birds and can’t fly)? Is smooth onboarding of new users that important to you? To what end?

Dear @libreoffice - read the room, please. Blockchain is NOT something your wider community is interested in. To put it friendly. Putting out a blog entry trying to raise interest in Blockchain and LibreOffice is so badly timed that I am astonished it even made it through your editorial process.

Would've appreciated a notice from ... whoever it is outside my window doing what sounds like a rave.
Have a blast, mate. But you should at least send folks notices or attach them to the doors of *residences* and let them know that their evenings are going to be full of music they can't drown out, even with their windows closed.

@rgegriff I think a common misconception of mastodon is that because many instances have a central theme, that that is the only content you're allowed to post there, and in my experience that's extremely rare

@joepie91 This is also why NGOs are able to get away with a lot of the exploitation and abuses they do. The veneer of niceness helps enable it and makes it so much easier to overlook how awful they can be.
