Let me be as blunt as I can. #CloudFlare wants to own the entire Internet. Everything they do, however cool and good it may seem, is in service of that goal.
They're well on their way, seeing as they're being used by more than 20% of the entire web already.
All of this is legal and "Good Capitalism™".
What can you do?

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

i think they should make it so that you can sleep for like a whole day and then don't have to sleep for a couple of days after that

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
