28 years of #craigslist: $100 million for #cybersecurity

Not sure when I started craigslist, but I celebrate today. Started early 1995.

Do you even look at the other timelines (local or federated)?

Whenever I click a news article and it’s a video I’m like, “ok! guess I won’t be learning about that current event!!”

I'm trying to give people who criticise the lack of #Algorithm on #Mastodon the benefit of the doubt - maybe they don't know how to create their own feed.

Here's what you do:
Follow at least 50 people.
Then, follow hashtags you like.

I follow #CatsOfMastodon #BooksOfMastodon #WritingCommunity and more.

Then, talk to people. Be nice. Don't bring over #Twitter argumentative habits. You will have a better experience here that way.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Not ready to talk about Black History. Still talking about white US history.

Q: Why are Black neighborhoods so often high crime neighborhoods? Must be a lawless people! Violent! Thieves! Predators!

A: There is no such thing as a "high crime neighborhood." The whole concept is entirely made up based on our notion of what we consider a crime.

You may be thinking:🤔 Wait... What?! Not true! A high crime neighborhood has more drug use and sales, theft, and even murder!

1/N

Occurs to me that one way Mastodon might have an advantage over Twitter is that the relatively smallness of the overall community, combined with the transparency of chronological timelines, makes it feel more like we're on the same page, rather than separated into mysterious bubbles.
One great thing about being in US ag is completing the annual Census of Agriculture which expects you to make accurate reports of all aspects of your operation for the past year by Feb 6
