call me crazy but search engine indexing already exists, is already permitted by mastodon, and is already opt-out. this is how search indexing on the internet has worked for decades. robots.txt has existed as a standard since 1994. if you don't want your toots indexed, use the features in your software to disable indexing. this isn't an assault on your rights. it's legitimate fair use for the purpose of providing a public service. fediverse search is inevitable and necessary for platform growth.
bold of you to assume we hadn’t already donned our gay apparel

Actual conversation I had…

Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.

What other hashtags should I use here? Shockingly, #itzikmanger does not seem to be a thing yet. Nor #artsong
Am I tooting correctly?
😛

Also, all in person programming is mask required.

#yiddish #newyork starts this Sunday. https://www.yiddishnewyork.com lots of great programming both streaming and in person.
Monday I’m presenting new settings of Itzik Manger’s Khumesh Lider that Basya Schecter and I have been arranging on and off for ~10 years. And accompanying a few things here and there.

Can anyone recommend PoC Film and Horror Tooters to me?

I find that my timeline is shockingly white and would really like to change that. 🙂

@StevieP @nomdeb @BlackAzizAnansi Your first line basically repeats what I wrote.

My point is Mastodon prides itself, loudly, on being a safe space built by and for ALL marginalized people, yet is apparently failing at being so for those marginalized people who are Black.

A clear illustration of the problem.

"marginalized white people built this for all marginalized people but Black people need to make an extra effort to be included" is not the winning argument you apparently believe it to be
