General block recommendation for "Tier 0" level instances (technical caveat added)
I've been seeing posts about #fediblock -ing widely-known bad-actor instances, or even individual users on those instances. These places are well-known sources of harassment and bigotry that appear in Oli's Tier 0 blocklist (consensus of sources) or Seirdy's FediNuke, and I recommend that new instance admins without even minimal blocks import at least one of these to save yourself duplicated effort and your users the stress of encountering hate & harassment.
Oliphant's Tier 0: https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists/tier0.csv
Seirdy's larger Tier 0 and smaller FediNuke lists are linked from the documentation, which you should read before using either list: https://seirdy.one/posts/2023/05/02/fediverse-blocklists/
The lists can be imported by saving as a .csv and using the "Import" button on the upper right of the federation menu in modern Mastodon versions. (EDIT: Seirdy's lists appear not be formatted for direct import.)
To be clear, importing these lists is not a "solution" to bigotry on the fedi because social problems do not have technical solutions. It is, rather, a usability measure cutting off many of the sources of the worst harassment and abuse. These instances have wasted enough of the fedi's collective time and energy, don't let them waste yours.
A long awaited day has finally arrived, Minecraft Wiki has moved from Fandom to https://minecraft.wiki.
We were able to bring a lot of improvements with this move including less ads, a new skin, faster load time and more.
Please visit https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Wiki:Moving_from_Fandom for details why we've made this decision.
Soon we will also share how YOU can help entire Minecraft community reach forked wiki.
Thank you to everyone who have helped making this a reality. ❤️
De politie escaleert tegen vreedzame demonstranten. Ondertussen steunt bijna de gehele Tweede Kamer een motie (https://debatdirect.tweedekamer.nl/2023-09-21/stemmingen/plenaire-zaal/stemmingen-23-30/markeringen) om steun uit te spreken voor de @Politie vanwege het

Racistisch politiegeweld is overal. Het is dus nogal pijnlijk om een vriendelijke houding tegenover de politie aan te willen nemen in het licht van bijvoorbeeld de politiemoord op Rishi Chandrikasing of Mitch Henriquez, welke ook plaatsvonden in deze Stad van Vrede en Recht.

if an inconsequential item to me can be plot-relevant to someone else then i don't mind just letting them have it lol

But say... if you want to organize a protest for BLM, or you have a crucial job and come out as queer/trans to a friend... that info can be gathered and used against you if E2E encryption ends. By A hacker, someone with a grudge and the right software, the gov't etc.
It's still not safe to be queer/transgender in the US. It could ruin your life, or end it. It is very much NOT "So what?"
Just saying. Pay attention to Internet Privacy laws and politicians stances.

If you are a crafter with a cat, have you tried putting down decoy items for your cat to lie upon so she leaves your actual work alone and how did that work out for you? Coco was not fooled lmao #cats #CatsOfMastodon #Caturday #crafting
ok, here's a long shot: does anyone know of an browser-based html, text adventure but sort of RPG game, sort of adult-themed where the beginning scene puts you in a tavern and a character walks in from outside disoriented and unable to recall stuff?
The colors are like yellow and brown and looks kinda retro. Lots of text but some images. The characters, if I remember, are maybe anthropomorphic, maybe furry. Haha, sorry!
Ugh! it's bugging me that I can't remember!

- 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.
