Nowhere GirlMalcolm X: "I will never say that progress is being made. If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress.

LibreOffice400 million downloads of #LibreOffice since we started! More and more people are moving to the office suite that respects your privacy, doesn't mine your data, and doesn't force AI onto your workflow: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/01/30/400-million-downloads-and-counting/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware

He is a chaos agent. The more time of ours he can waste creating chaos, the more of a distraction he can create to expand corruption to a point of no return. That's his oligarchy goal.
The people banning all DEI in Government & pushing its elimination in the private sector, who fear mongered about CRT, who is banning teaching about the Tuskegee Airman in the Air Force, who repealed Affirmative Action, & who bans books by Black authors—want you to know that they don't see color.
Mr. Funk E. Dude 🫠Since a lot of new people have come on I've noticed a rise in people trying to start arguments. It's as if they carried the toxicity from wherever they came from along with them.
So this is your reminder that you DO NOT HAVE TO ENGAGE with people who are here just to start fights.
Mute them. Block them. Do whatever you have to do to take care of your mental health.
They aren't worthy of your time.
Let's keep Mastodon and the rest of the Fedi a "social" network and not a "toxic" network.
