Dear open registration servers, each day so far this week, I've opened my Mastodon client, only to see slurs, swastikas, and death threat videos of "me" being hanged.

This is the Nazi bar problem. They're standing on the curb and your doors are wide open. Sure, you're kicking them out after they walk in and punch a few customers, but is that really how you want your bar to be known? As the place that apologizes *after* the Nazi assaults you?

With the current US election results rolling in, it looks like we're in for another predictable wave of butthurt GravySeals aching to own the libs in a sad attempt to bring meaning to their poor little wannabe white power lives.

It's time to close registrations and step up moderation to protect the communities you helped grow.

Racism is chasing Black folx off Fedi.
Queerphobia is chasing LGBTQ+ folx off Fedi.
Sexism is chasing women off Fedi.

Do you want another incel white boys club like Twitter? Because inaction is how you get there.

#FediAdmin, #FediMods, don't be a #NaziBar.

Is anyone here a freelance copyeditor? #FediHire

The book in question will be distributed for free, Italian author, but written in English... it's aimed at a tech engineer audience, it's essentially a "lessons learned from my tech career" book in the style of The Effective Programmer (Lau) and The Manager's Path (Fournier), and written by the most impactful engineer I know.

However... he is not a copyeditor, and he's shared his first few chapters, they're good... but need work to tighten up more.

This would be paid, I'll support him by paying.

Boosts welcome, examples of work appreciated, freelance copyeditors with some work under their belt only, must have English as native language or very high fluency, knowledge of the tech industry desired but not necessary.

Britain First ( a far right racist organisation) are holding an illegal demonstration in #Dartford tomorrow by the library.

Meanwhile, Stand up to Racism has organised a counter-protest
