I vacuumed and my congestion immediately returned with a vengeance.

You'd think the phrase "hipster anarchist" to be redundant until you meet the guy who fires his own homemade riot bricks.

A lot of the time people just use revolutionary-appropriated academic verbage to circle back around to re-encoding restrictive ideas like professionalism, civility, and secular norm enforcement. It just gets called something longer and has subtitle that says ": A marxist feminist critique" or whatever.

I wouldn't know about the fediverse chick if without the memes tbh. This server never sees anything like spam campaigns because we don't federate with the servers spammers register on. Is it all from mastodon.social and stuff?

There honestly ought to be a technical solution on fedi for users who are torn between seeking out visibility and seeking safety. Maybe some kind of codified "ambassador account" vs "personal account" relationship where the personal account is on a well moderated server and the ambassador account isn't, but is configured to automatically mirror and promote certain tagged/filtered 'art' or 'professional' posts onto it from the personal account. If on GoToSocial, maybe even with stricter reply permissions on the ambassador account as well.

I promote my videos solely from this highly-moderated mastodon server with the expectation that at least this way I won't cultivate a shitty starter fanbase. Which makes sense for me as the Patreon doesn't bring in enough money yet to matter. Even if it started to though, I would be very hesitant to offer any kind of less-moderated 'fan space' on another site or service. Judging from observations, that usually goes very badly.

For as much as artists complain about 'visibility' when on mastodon.art, at least images actually load from that server. Servers running misskey forks and whatever other non-mastodon based software often don't propagate media as consistently for my local instance's media cache for whatever reason. So ironically, artists who move their work off that server 'for visibility' often have their work turn into those invisible attachments I can't load.

I just wish fedi was full of people with hearts capable of growing up and becoming better so that a responsibly moderated and administrated server doesn't become so isolated to begin with. I can't fault artists and freelance writers and such seeking bigger audiences, but the way it conflicts with a drive for safe spaces online can rub me the wrong way sometimes.

If I could truly be a slime I wouldn't need teeth. It would dissolve all my problems.
