How to Make the Fediverse Your Own: cloud.medlab.host/s/JKfLGa5zxP…
A love letter for the Twitter exodus from your friends at Social.coop.
A long time ago I went to the Canyon de Chelly in Arizona in Winter. On the way there from Highway 40 it snowed really hard and all of a sudden there were 2 white, wild horses on the street. They blended in so much that I almost could not see them. We were the only one around for miles, really cool experience.
Your 'art class' post reminded me of that. Thanks for that!

[Thread]Thinking about this in a #crip and #disability context:
"And I’ve realized that Mastodon is a superb example of antiviral design.
It was engineered specifically to create friction — to slow things down a bit. This is a big part of why it behaves so differently from mainstream social networks." uxdesign.cc/mastodon-is-antivi…
Past few years I've been thinking on the way the social media landscape reflects the societal urge towards the frictionaless 1/?
Even the defining principles of activism is to 'do'. and to reduce the friction and limitation/increase visibility and induce change about a given issue.
Yet a lot of direct action *involves* adding friction to the system you want to change, until it breaks - lock on, sit ins, other kinds of direct action its not wise to talk about online. Traditional social media's 'strength' has been virality's ability to connect [3/?]

So I was checking my logs and people report me to me all the time, but I got a report from mas.to, who has defederated with me, which is fine, but what was said got my attention.
They called me racist and said I didn't use content warnings for my content, which we've discussed at length this week, and how entitled it is. We all know that's just white people shit.
But they say I attack people. This is a bald-faced lie. If you look at every single one of my contentious moments with other users on here, they come at me. I don't attack people. I defend myself. 100% of the time. I do not go after people. That's not my thing, and I have zero interest in the lives of bigots and people who just don't like me for whatever reason.
Earlier in the week, I talked about how much understanding there is for bigotry and hate on the fedi but that isn't extended to it's targets.
The situation is with mas.to is a perfect example of this.
I would urge caution for anyone who interacts with that instance as they've shown a tolerance for bigotry but none for people who are harassed and targeted by it.
you have GOT to be kidding me
NO. NO. NO.
Certain journa.host admin "fully down for the VC pump-and-dump" of his server.
You might have been on the fence before, now every decent server admin needs to #FediBlock that shit.
