Oh, did I mention I'd rather block than get annoyed?

@cjcolclough Yes - that new instance does look well intentioned but without any visible ability to scale up.
Personally, I'm think I'm about to move across to mastodon.me.uk What's the background of your own server? It seems ever so slightly mysterious!
@cjcolclough @TW Sorry - wrong person in the link!
I'm late to the the party on this but surely *some* #deepfake/ #surveillance/#cctv scholars have written about #TheCapture? Its the most stupendously balderdasherish yet compulsively watchable and informative thing in ages. I want to show clips of every bit to discuss #deepfakes !!! Search shows surprisingly little beyond basic tv reviews.
@cjcolclough Hi. On general union stuff, I noticed @TW setting up a new server @union.place which has picked up an exploratory feeler from AFL-CIO @aflcio (Tim/admin has confirmed it looks genuine).

Alpha version of a #DataRights tool for #CollectiveBargaining officers/ #tradeunions just released.

It's a guided tour that helps workers map the #DigitalTechnologies used at #work, loops in relevant #DataProtection rights and offers advice on what to negotiate on.

Currently most developed for #GDPR zone, but useful for all others. Will be developed for additional jurisdictions next 12 months. Interested? Pls send private message.

Just a week or two in and I fking love this place so much. It's like stumbling out of the noise and into the kitchen at a party, and finding your people right there all the time.

You miss the friends you left behind in the shouty room where most who talk to you are looking over your shoulder to see if there's anyone more important to latch onto, but you hope your friends will soon find the kitchen, too.

Hey. Two years since registering my account and one week since attempting to become active on #Mastodon - here is my #introduction.

I work as a #journalist at the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, DR. This year I have been covering the #war between #Russia and #Ukraine with stories focused on #disinformation, activism and #foreignfighters.

I live in #Copenhagen. And was born and raised in Sweden. So expect posts on Scandinavian news and politics.

I’m also on #Signal: +45 31 32 05 81.

A highland bull. Currently visiting us. He really is magnificent.

A fun thing about #muting is you can #mute “RT @“ and not have to see the stuff people are mindlessly reposting from Twitter via those bots. I appreciate that it’s simple but I’ve also seen a lot of war-related unpleasantness and political hot takes that I’m not super in the mood for.
@criticalinsert 100% agree.
(In my case, I wondered why a stream of accounts starting following me, since I'm no-one. Then I saw one of them had posted about a list of 1000 accounts that could be followed automatically. So I'm blocking quickly and often.)
Just as the random mention of the day I today followed @writingruskin on our newest local server.
