So I know loads of folk were here before making this a cool place.

I think we can help.

Sorry this happened to you, it really sucks.

This is one of the problems with a truly open social media where content is controlled by the instance owner that the account was registered on.

May I suggest banning that particular instance since it obviously does not clamp down on hate speech? If all the sensible people ban the racist instances then they’re left to shout into their own echo chamber.

Today is Thanksgiving Day, and it is also the National Day of Mourning, which remembers the genocide of millions of Native Americans and their ongoing erasure today.

In giving thanks today, let us also reflect and act to stop the ongoing genocide of America's Indigenous Peoples.

“We are afraid of religion because it interprets rather than just observes. Religion does not confirm that there are hungry people in the world; it interprets the hungry to be our brethren whom we have allowed to starve.”

@GottaLaff When you edit your name you can put in emoji "shortcuts". I get those by starting a post, tap emoji button, which includes blue checks and other adornments, tap one and it will put a text version into the post with colons at start/end. Grab all of that and put after your name in the profile. For example, I used ;verified_paw; (with colons, not semi-colons).
@Mzlady hahaha! I thought "tainch" had died out!
My grandparents said, "add a tain-achy bit"
 

#BlackFriday is a trap.

It is designed to push your buttons and trigger your FOMO.

The idea is to make you buy more than you need, to keep enriching the already wealthy at the expense of our wounded planet.

You are so much more than a consumer.
Say No.
Exercise your willpower.
Buy Nothing.

"There is no forking, no glitching, no upcycling of the fediverse’s code that is possible to enable a space for Black and (visible) People of Color to be safe. Our existence period…is a political act, because we have survived. Although I don’t think that we should have to be fighting all the time, and that the onus on existing in space is on us to be either be happy or fist up all the time either."

I've accepted an invitation for a grown-up lady playdate. Like a lunchy-brunchy thing. I feel sorry for people who want to befriend me and spend time in person together because I dread it until I either cancel or go.

I blame Hollywood. Movies make us think falling in love means spending cozy nights chatting and having friends means lunchy-brunchy things.

If you want a pet #introvert or #enneagram5 friend, please don't suggest lunchy-brunchy things.
