mastodon meltdowns, meta
@joepie91 I have been trying to remind myself of how there are no utopias. When you migrate, you are not moving to paradise. You are just hopefully going somewhere better.
And once there, you are part of it. Which implies a responsibility to you, and you to it. Responsibilites like trying to make the place better for each other. No place is going to be perfect. But we as a community can make it better and better, until it's the best we can get it.

fediblock, cyberplace.social, of course it's regarding fucking Hogwarts Legacy
#fediblock cyberplace.social
admin gossithedog just ducking and dodging criticisms like a pro to continue to keep self-justifying playing (and actively posting about) Hogwarts Legacy. "ally" my ass. typical "cis ally" that only helps when it suits them.

Yes, it really sucks when an instance shuts down. Yes, it really sucks navigating interpersonal conflicts. Yes, it really sucks discovering that some admins are shitty, actually.
But, consider this: this isn't just about a migration from Twitter to Mastodon - or to fedi, for that matter.
Rather, we're all collectively having to relearn how to build and maintain communities and their infrastructure, after two decades of total reliance on corporations to (fail to) do so.
That *is* going to be a messy process, involving a lot of conflict as people figure things out. For many, it's learning these things the hard way, through trial and error.
It may be painful, but it's very much worth it in the long run. And fedi just happens to be the environment that people learn it in.

Eventually people are going to need to admit that the internet is very much so a real and impactful part of our lives.

it would be so nice to just be like "yep I'm gonna switch off from it all and ignore them to make the world easier to deal with" but doing that just gives them the breathing room to expand

seeking porn advice abt partners
iiiiiiiii need some advice from other amateur porn people who have shot with partners. i want to shoot porn with someone. obviously there are collabs if i find someone else interested and then we find a way to share.
but i don't live near many porn people
can i just bring in a grindr dude who offers to "film together" and keep all the footage to myself as long as i cut identifying features out of it?
should i be paying them? if so how much?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but... really? *None* of the gaming media has picked up on the overtly antisemitic plot of Hogwarts Legacy?
How can you call yourself a journalist and not have at least a basic capability of recognizing nazi propaganda
re: instance subtoot
Imagine having so little imagination that you just cannot conceive of people organizing something without being a ~corporation~...

oh look, the linkedin instance guy is tooting about how we need corporations if we ever want fedi to amount to anything

@vultureculture I heard something once that has always stuck with me.

One of the wilder realizations in transitioning is how many of my cis women friends are more afraid of publicly wearing skirts, dresses, etc, and presenting more feminine in general, than I am. Like even in semi-private spaces with just friends, or explicitly safe spaces.
Society managed to fuck all us girls up good.

ChatGPT writes 15% longer and more critical performance feedback for women employees. It aso relies on stereotypes to choose pronouns. Examples: kindergarten teacher, nurse and reception = "she". Mechanic and construction workers = "he".

A server is a highly advanced machine, and when paired with a developer it can seamlessly convert immense amounts of electricity into stacktraces.

"I know you," said Alice. "Are you to present me with a puzzle? Perhaps one of you tells the truth and the other lies?"
"Oh no," said Bingle-Dum.
"We both lie," added Googl-E.
"But there must be a clue," pouted Alice. "For how else am I to tell when to trust what you say?"
"That's the point!" laughed Bingle-Dum.
"We don't know when we're telling the truth either!" said Googl-E, finishing the other's sentence.

violence against those that don't believe you have the same rights to existence is good and justified, actually.

I think of when moderation crises have happened in closed social networks, there's no real recourse or remediation.
On the fediverse, there seems to be at least some mitigation afforded by federation and account migration, allowing community to have some resilience to crisis.

this wired review pulls no punches, and their "purchase here" link goes to the Trans Lifeline donation page. A fine idea, i I do say so myself!

Daklozen pesten, hostile architecture
Klassieke manier van #daklozen pesten; maak opvang minder toegankelijk en zorg vervolgens ervoor dat ze ook nergens terecht kunnen in publieke ruimtes.
Beschouw overlast van daklozen als een oproep tot compassie. Zorg voor goeie resources voor hun opvang en herstel. Ontmenselijk ze niet.
