Despite the harmful politicization of masks, recent studies show that:

1️⃣ Stricter mask and vaccine requirements would have saved hundreds of thousands more lives in the US

2️⃣ 70% of people in the US supported mask requirements

can fedi trans girls tell me if the "Hormonzentrum Karlsruhe" is fine?

Dit is een toffe site, zeg: waarzitwatin.nl/

Heel veel details over welke grondstoffen en ingredienten er gebruikt worden om allerlei dingen te produceren, de veiligheid daarvan, enzovoorts.

I’ve done terrible things for money. Like getting up early to go to work.

Ik had 50 ventieldopjes gekocht omdat ik ze altijd kwijtraak.

Raad eens wat ik kwijt ben...

Import / export of account data via CSV files will be coming in 0.17.0 :) No more having to run scripts + CLI tools to import a list of accounts you follow, after doing a migration to a #GoToSocial instance.

It's really nice how I can just order my medication from the local pharmacy by e-mail, and pick it up from a machine the next day.

If you follow any of the #GoToSocial developers you've probably seen this going around already, but 0.17.0 of #GoToSocial will be the first release that includes interaction policies, aka reply-controls.

In the first iteration of this feature, you'll be able to configure your account so that new posts created by you will have an interaction policy set on them, which determines whether your instance drops or accepts replies, likes, and boosts of your posts, depending on the visibility of the post, and whether or not an account trying to interact with you is in your followers/following list.

So for example, you will be able to create Public posts that can only be replied to by your followers and people you follow, or unlisted posts that nobody can reply to or like, etc.

GoToSocial interaction policies will be a superset of other reply control proposals created elsewhere (and already implemented by softwares like Pixelfed and Peertube), so your GoToSocial instance should recognize interaction restrictions set not only by other GoToSocial instances, but by Pixelfed and Peertube as well.

If you're interested in reading about how this will work on a protocol level, you can take a look at the documentation here: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/posts/#interaction-policy

Please note that this feature is not 100% finished yet, and may be subject to change before release. We're aware of where the headaches and difficulties are, so please don't reply to this post griping about them; we already know (and this instance is still running on 0.16.0 so no interaction policies yet).

Thanks for reading :)

I just want those who -do- have spare money in #mastodon4harris and #mastodonForHarris to take a step back from feeling big emotions at the poor crowding the tag seeking help and consider this one thing:

Those in the tag are either a) fellow voters who are going to vote harris over trump bc its our survival too Or b) international readers who also support not-trump not-biden but theyre too! Broke! To! Live!!

The poor are in the tag bc we belong there. We are part of it. We are part of her base, just like you.

Fix your hearts or die, like the man said.

Tell me you’re a US developer without telling me you’re a US developer.

I didn't think I'll have to ask this question... but can anybody recommend any decent bank in Germany, preferably one also accessible from degoogled phones, and issuing cards in the name on Erganzungsausweis.
Our main bank of 4.5 years just sent us a letter that it decided to terminate our contract relationship on two months notice (at least not immediately...), because fuck you that's why.

Life hack: Open a cat picture before you put your computer to sleep, using, for example, the preview function on a toot, or the #cats channel in your local Slack.

It will then be waiting for you when you wake up your machine the next time, and make you smile 😻

This is a pretty apt image for how we prioritize the space in our cities in general, not just during the San Francisco marathon.

"Citizen voter challenges, once an obscure practice, have transformed into a mass movement in Georgia, with conservative activists challenging hundreds of thousands of voter registrations in the last several years....Voters of color — and Black voters in particular — have been disproportionately impacted by these vast disenfranchisement campaigns.

And voting rights experts say a newly-passed election law, known as SB 189, is likely to make the problem worse. +

"There is a large and growing pile of evidence that strict voter ID laws disproportionately impact voters of color.

"Using county-level turnout data around the country, researchers demonstrated that the racial turnout gap grew when states enacted strict voter ID laws.

The turnout effects continued even after the strict voter ID law was repealed. +

You know, if you really want Black folks to vote for Democrats, you could do that by fighting voter disenfranchisement, instead of yelling at Black folks and insulting our intelligence while expecting our labor.
