Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
- 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.

Dear journalists, sign up as a regular person on a regular instance and see what normal human society and its standards are like. You might like it.
Journalism organisations, set up your own fucking servers and then get judged on your own merits (or lack thereof) instead of those of the dickheads you sign up alongside.
You may quote me on this.

Anarchist groups, please remember to do alt text when you're able.
And if you need help with alt-text pre-post, feel free to bother me here or elsewhere. I'm happy to do what I can when I can.

An unpopular opinion is when you like odd pizza toppings or you think that a TV show is good, actually. It is not a phrase for bigots to politely hide behind.

This is John Mastodon.
John CWs triggering and stressful posts.
John captions his images.
John boosts everything he would have liked to see in his timeline if he hadn't seen it.
John is kind.
Be like #JohnMastodon.

We need to say loudly and clearly that a parent seeking to keep their kids ignorant about gay and transgender people is a form of child abuse.

EARLY INTERNET: Please download Flash, Real Player to make our company sites work correctly.
NOW: Please download our app because no one goes on the web anymore and that way we get your phone#, contacts information, a list of your apps, how many apples you eat in a week, your vitals from your health app, your photos, that text message from your ex that you cannot delete, your fingerprint, your face ID, the stats on how many times you've listened to that Celine Dion album, oh and give a U2 album

This Discord could have been a Wiki
Is there some way in Mastodon/glitch-soc to (optionally) view mentions and notifications from silenced instances?

I don't envy GTS folks for having to deal with "but maybe we can work with bigots just a little bit" kind of buffoonery now that a bunch of new people are showing up, but the responses make me happy.

@joepie91 I guess it's another failure of open source too. NLnet requires projects and their documentation to be released under a suitable floss license, but that leaves a lot of room for just taking the project private afterwards, or open-core type shit
