If I was a fediverse admin right now with open registrations (why are you doing that?!!), given the #4chan hack, now would probably be a great time to finally close them down. There's about to be a lot of very angry and lonely trolls looking for somewhere to lash out

Now is a perfect time to stop using memes and language that developed on 4chan
We can throw all of it into the grave alongside them

So... I've seen my fair share of criticisms of "mastodon", and I know a lot of them, and many are valid.
But one that always gives me pause is criticism of the moderation.
And that's because it's often used by people who, frankly, should be moderated. You'll have people shout that "but instances will moderate me" and then you check and yep, it's because they're a bigot.
There's also always that point about how moderation is a mess, and instances constantly block things for no reason and that's just not true on a large scale.
You'll have the occasional case of instances not liking each other (I know octodon had one or two, twoot.site has one or two), but for the most part there is a wide range of post that is acceptable to basically everyone.

#actuallyautistic I and many women I know have a box love. You get things in really cool boxes and you say, I should save this and use it, cause that is a really cool box. In packing up I have found these & needed a stim so I spent hours with a hot glue gun, fabric, left over ribbon, and old DR WHO episodes. created boxes you WANT TO PUT THINGS IN. Packing is hell for autistic and ADHD brains. It is carnage on an epic level. I HAD TO CREATE.

I am very tempted to buy a 1st class Interrail.
Does DuckDuckFedi have any opinions?
My main reason for doing so it the massively increased short notice Eurostar/reservation availability.

@coolandnormal My standard for consent is to pretend the thing I'm consenting to is being physically done by a person.
It'd be super weird if I bought a used car from some one and they asked me if they could follow me around.
It'd also be super weird for a stranger to ask to follow me around writing down the things I put into my cart at the grocery store.
If I called a taxi, it'd be super weird if the driver asked me if he could look through my phone contacts and copy them down.

Today's AI bullshit: Webex randomly said to me in a TTS voice that an AI generated transcript and summary of the meeting will be created. I was alone in the meeting at that point and just said "nein?" to myself and disabled the feature. So the summary only goes off of the word "nine" since I guess the speech model expects English

Look I don't make the rules. Everyone knows you can only trust the partially closed source messaging app, that used to brand itself amongst enthusiasts on being fully open source, before being busted having actually closed sourced their server software, for at least a year, without telling anyone (while slowly phasing out the old enthusiast open source language).
It's simple, really

great, my spam emails sound like they’re trying to do a drug deal now
I have located the source of the plant pots! The product listing was badly named and that's why I was having trouble finding them.
So now I have new sturdy seedling pots underway at 0.15 EUR each. Up quite a bit from the 0.10 EUR I paid in 2020, but still quite a good price.
"Het kan wel eens voorkomen dat u een bestelling retour wilt sturen. [...] In dergelijke gevallen kunt u de bestelling altijd naar ons retourneren. Wij zullen wel controleren of hier niet meer mee is gedaan dan schriftelijk is voorgeschreven. Wettelijk gezien mag je het product namelijk uitproberen zoals je dat ook in een fysieke winkel mag doen."
Hee, een webwinkelier die zich wel ingelezen heeft over het retourrecht! Het bestaat dus toch!
*digs through year-old e-mails to try and figure out where they ordered their plant pots last time*

i need you to find the part of yourself that loves others, and love it, to build up and sustain it, so that you can live up to that love for people including you. without love in you, love shown is hollow.

We need to stop thinking that the company that most recently did a shitty thing is the worst company. Firefox isn't worse than Chrome. Brother isn't worse than HP
Semi related, we need to stop overblowing problems in open source. There's too much "I'm switching back to the proprietary one" even tho that company has done much worse things than the open source project
