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.

If I could change one thing about the way we talk about copyright, it would be to replace "protected" with "encumbered," at least in the library context. An out-of-print book from 1950 with a dead author and a defunct publisher is not "protected" by copyright; it's encumbered. 60-year-old newspaper articles, 10-year-old political ads, on and on - vast swaths of in-copyright material with no commercial life but some remaining intellectual value aren't protected by copyright. They're encumbered.

And it hasn't too post this for a while, but just a thought on content warning, which has become a lot less prevalent in the last six months:
CW on Masto isn't about censorship. Its about not retraumatising people who have suffered abuse.
That's it. The Twitter algorithm wants you continually raw with trauma, because it's good for engagement.
For a personal example: I have a couple of major triggers. If I see those triggers CW'd? On a bad day, I'll scroll past.
And that's what it's for.

What's the deal with the constant capitalism-brained takes from social.coop users

I love Star Trek as much as anybody else, but you know what I'd really like to see?
A science fiction television show that doesn't place us on a military/quasi-military ship with a military-like command structure.
Oh and VCs of course, Medium *is* a darling of the startup industry after all.
#FediBlock in case you missed it: me.dm - it seems to have launched about a week ago.
This is the instance operated by Medium, a for-profit tech company and blog silo. Unsurprisingly, I'm already seeing 'thought leaders', follower collectors, and cryptocurrency junk showing up.

Deeply confused right now at someone elsewhere accusing me of being a tankie (pejorative) while simultaneously commenting that tankies are 'based'

police violence
@joepie91 meanwhile, warning a cop about one's own violence is not sufficient because it is then suddenly a threat
police violence
Always incredible how many people think that "well, the cops warned you" is somehow a justification for them to use violence

death to authority, death to those intent on forcing it on us. death to tankies.
Dat standaard "dames en heren, hier spreekt de politie", he, wanneer een protest uit elkaar getrokken wordt... betekent dat dan dat je je als enby niet aangesproken hoeft te voelen? 🤔

Psa: don't just boost the first post of a good thread. The entire thread won't federate on its own!
Include at least the first and the last.

why can't we have stories about ordinary people surviving and trying to rebuild society into a better form where they can help each other and be peaceful now that the oppressive capitalism is gone
trying to find meaning in the chaos
trying to find something good even after the world went to fucking shit

i hate a lot of zombie movies because they are essentially copaganda/military propaganda disguised under the sauce of post apocalyptic aesthetics
re: NL politics, but in English
Information is still trickling in, but at least this time it seems there's *less* of a gap between enforcement against climate protesters vs. fascist farmers.
re: NL politics, but in English
Oh look, one of the arrests was for, loosely translated, "offending a cop". Yes, that is a thing here.
