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.

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

Now the way the Internet Archive is doing mastodon is how more organisations and celebs should be joining the fediverse!
They have a dedicated in house instance, which lets you identify official staff, and gives them control and security over their content, whilst also allowing people and instances to opt in or out of interacting with them
Kudos for doing it right @internetarchive!

What’s going on in the fediverse feels a lot like what happens when liberals run into actual leftists.

Helping activists, dissidents & journalists migrate to Mastodon
Hi everyone,
there are a number of people in this category who want to migrate to Mastodon and have questions about safety, security, etc. Are there any resources that you recommend?

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like it's gigantic and destroying the town.
