[Edit: I'd like to request no more boosts for this post for now - my DMs are still open to, and please do still forward this to specific folks you think might be interested. I've got so many responses that it's going to take me a while to get to all of them - which I will. ❤️ you all for being so supportive of this idea.]

I have an offer to make: do you want to run an instance on the fediverse for a group that's underrepresented here?

I'll pay the bills. Period.

I'll do admin if needed (software updates and the like). But you decide what kind of community you want it to be, so you put together the mod team.

DM me.

That Republicans want to protect luxury cars more than Capitol police officers is just too on the nose.

E&P - The Voice of America is facing an unprecedented crisis. Journalists have been cut off from their newsrooms—emails shut down, phones disconnected, and no way to reach editors—leaving many in a state of uncertainty. VOA’s chief national correspondent, Steve Herman, finds himself among more than 1,300 colleagues placed on excused absence. https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/voice-of-america-turmoil-through-the-eyes-of-veteran-voa-journalist-steve-herman,254884

Voice of America turmoil through the eyes of veteran VOA journalist Steve Herman

Voice of America (VOA), the U.S. government-funded international broadcaster, is facing an unprecedented crisis. Journalists have been cut off from their newsrooms—emails shut down, phones disconnected, and no way to reach editors—leaving many in a state of uncertainty. Steve Herman, Chief National Correspondent for VOA, finds himself among more than 1,300 colleagues placed on excused absence. As the shutdown stretches on, audiences once served by VOA’s trusted reporting are turning elsewhere, raising questions about the future of one of America’s most enduring journalistic institutions.

I truly hope someone manages to shoot him in his single celled brain...the sooner the better.

Double tap just in case.

Since Your rude ass (@quiltgran ) replies and then blocks you're getting put on blast, then suspended like other fools.

The hashtag for #fediadmin is for other admins to find and block things like this. These guys are spamming the #introduction hashtag to make sure new users get a taste of hate and should be suspended ASAP.

Its properly marked as sensitive, with warning alt.

I'm the admin of multiple instances, alerting other admins.

This is the way.

Google Domains shutting down, assets sold and being migrated to Squarespace

Google Domains is "winding down following a transition period," with Squarespace taking over the business and assets...

Someone drug test Sarah CuntFilledWithSand after this speech. #SOTU

It always amazes me when dumbass republicans like Sarah CuntFilledWithSand blames Dems or anything for "drugs coming across the border".

It's the free market baby, supply and demand.

Your uneducated, low IQ voters are the demand. If they had decent jobs, healthcare, an education worth a damn and something to do besides football and church, it wouldn't be a problem.

The bible belt is the OD belt.
