BREAKING: The Taliban have banned women from universities.

This is a shameful decision that violates the right to education for women and girls in Afghanistan. The Taliban are making it clear every day that they don't respect the fundamental rights of Afghans, especially women.

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter gives him direct access to tens of millions of brains. He is making a zealous effort to change and control those brains by flooding them with hate and misinformation.

He's creating an echo chamber that forces everyone to engage the extreme conservative ideas in order to make such ideas seem mainstream. He’s shifting the discourse to favor election deniers, racists and insurrectionists … turning Twitter into a social media version of Fox.

21 December 1944 | The aerial photograph of the Auschwitz I & Auschwitz II-Birkenau camps taken on that day, little over a month before the liberation of the camp.

At Auschwitz II-Birkenau:

- fences & watchtowers of BIII sector were removed
- in gas chamber & crematorium II: dirt from the roofs of underground spaces removed; chimney & crematorium roof demolished
- fences of crematorium II & III were removed

Some tips for new members:

-Third party Mastodon apps are better than official apps. On Android try Tusky or Fedilab. On iPhone/iPad try Toot!

-If you're looking for people to follow see here: https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-mastodon-and-the-fediverse-basic-tips/#HowDoIFindPeopleToFollow

-This place isn't normally slow! There's a massive influx of new people today, the servers may be slow/buggy while they get upgraded.

-Servers are all independent and run by volunteers out of their own pocket, there are no ads or investors or trackers. Support your server!

Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.

How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).

And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

Public Service Warning

Mastodon has a very big surge of new users right now. There's no way to tell if it will be sustained, but at this early point it looks similar to Nov 18 when Musk pulled the employee purge.

It is very challenging for system administration to accommodate so many new users. If your server starts to struggle, it is not broken and will get sorted out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.
