Just a reminder to all the new arrivals here:
These instances are NOT commercial entities like #Twitter ... someone is paying the bills for servers and networking, and the massive influx of people like us are raising those costs enormously.
Be a good citizen, checkout the "About this server" link, and if you can, make a donation towards costs.

Sad to read this
`The Friends of Carlisle Victorian and Turkish baths have criticised Carlisle Council executive after the six Conservative councillors voted to close the city’s Turkish baths in just 90 seconds.
The decision comes less than two weeks after Carlisle Turkish Baths were voted Cumbria’s Best Small Tourist Attraction in the Cumbria Life Readers Awards, and despite usage of the baths increasing by over 100% in the last 12 months.`

hey guys from Twitter.
we are glad to see you here but please understand that the fact that fediverse is anti-viral, anti-hierarchy and anti-capitalist is the point of it
please also understand that CWs, alt text and other stuff here is not there to "silence you" — it is to allow users greater agency over their feeds for their mental benefit, and to support disabled people.
this network was built by marginalized people. who disliked Twitter for the same reasons you do.
don't bring it back.
I built this tool a year ago but I feel like Mastodon folks would like it
The "Weird Old Book Finder"
Type in a search query, and it'll find one randomly-chosen public-domain book that matches the query -- and present it for immediate reading: https://www.weirdoldbookfinder.net/
Why only one book? To prevent the paradox of choice! Just *start readin'*
Can't promise every book will be weird, but most are
A longer essay on how/why I developed it: https://debugger.medium.com/a-search-engine-that-finds-you-weird-old-books-3a74fbb5f3d4
This was a search for "mastodon"
