There's a lot of overlap in posts they're showing, but they're not exactly the same—that's the nature of federation.

This is a great thread by Michael Harriot on #NFL Dallas #Cowboys owner Jerry Jones who was pictured in 1957 in a crowd of whites, violently opposing Black school integration in Little Rock, AR.

Jones’ so-called plausible deniability is t credible.
Great thread w/ video of one of the students who tried to integrate the school in 1957. The school wouldn’t be integrated ‘til 1966-67. #BlackMastodon

If you're pro-union and looking for a smaller server, you could do worse than joining us at https://union.place.

IWW, AFL-CIO, UFW, and 30+ other unions are there setting up shop, as well as more than 50 advocacy organizations including Sunrise Movement and the MD Poor People's Campaign.

You don't need to be a union member to join, just pro-labor!

We're working on our nonprofit status and building out an organization that outlasts any individual's involvement. #Solidarity #Union #Labor

I'll be honest here, as a humble instance admin receiving all kinds of DMs and emails...

The abuse, excessive reports... folks our instance grew from 60 users to 22000 in the span of two weeks. I didn't expect to suddenly commit 6-8 hours of my day to this. Knowing I have other commitments like a day job and other things.

I'm burning the candle on both ends here. Look at this toot timestamp. Please save space for some patience.

Y'all clearly don't remember this image:

I’m #thankful for all of the volunteers running all of the #Mastodon instances out there who are trying to build safe, positive, productive communities. Who willingly give of their own time in addition to their family, work, and other obligations. Who put people before profit. Who believe that when we build bridges and connect with one another, we can accomplish anything together.

#thanksgiving #Fediverse
